Quoting LIBRA

____________________________________________________________________________________

There are nine thinking days until the fiftieth anniversary of a Presidential assassination.



The following quotes are from Don DeLillo's Libra, a fictional account
of what happened on November 22, 1963.

“Questioning elicited the information that he feels as if there is a veil between him and other people
through which they cannot reach him, but he prefers this veil to remain intact.”

Some boys had given him a pounding down by the ferry terminal after he’d ridden in the back of the bus
with the Negroes. whether out of ignorance or principle, Lee refused to say. This was also like him,
to be a misplaced martyr and let you think he was just a fool, or exactly the reverse as long as
he knew the truth and you didn’t.

Camp Peary was the Farm, and the Farm was ISOLATION, and ISOLATION probably had
a deeper meaning somewhere, in a locked safe or some computer buried in the ground.

Stalking a victim can be a way of organizing one’s loneliness, making a network out of it,
a fabric of connections. Desperate men solitude a purpose and a destiny.

[One of the rogue CIA agents] wanted Cuba back and the sooner the better. He had rights, claims,
hidden financial involvement in a leasing company that had been working toward a huge land deal
to facilitate oil drilling. That was before the plucky rebels came out of the hills...
“We are the jolly coverts, we lie and spy until it hurts.”

It measures skin conduction and hears you sweat. It allows you to give yourself away.
Lies quicken the breath. They make the blood pound...Polygraph. A nice technical sound to it,
a specialist’s sound, but still traditional, decipherable, from the Greek.

Three hundred reporters in a compact space, all pushing to extract a word. A word is a magic wish.
A word from anyone. With a word they could begin to grid the world, make an instant surface
that people can see and touch together... Someone said he’s coming...
One eye puffed, a cut over the other, his shirt hanging loose.
He resembled a guy who comes out of a doorway to bum a smoke.

Published in 1988, LIBRA was a best-selling novel. It is safe to assume that the book
written by Don DeLillo sold over 100,000 copies.

Exact sales figures can be given about another fictionalized account of the JFK assassination.



Published in 2002, ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF 1963 is a limited edition novel.
Eighteen copies of the book were either sold or given as gifts.

Tina Manicotti is a proud New York City Catholic school girl
who believes that John Kennedy is hotter than Elvis:
JFK talks with an accent that sounds like you can hear his hips shaking.

Anyone interested in purchasing ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF 1963
