Fair Play Staff Meeting
Fair Play is edited and published by John Kelin; all responsibility for deciding its content must be laid at his doorstep. Contributors to this issue include Joe Backes, Harrison E. Livingstone, Vince Palamara, and Jerrold Smith. Joe Durnavich scanned the Stringer and Riebe ARRB depositions, and made them available. Thanks also to Debra Conway of Lancer for editing the Joe Backes article, scanning documents, and making it all available from the Lancer site.
Special thanks go to Vincent J. Salandria, who was gracious enough to give Fair Play a copy of his COPA speech, and to grant us permission to use it. Mr. Salandria later sent us a stack of his previously published articles, some of which (to our knowledge) have not been reprinted since their original publication. Look for them in the coming months.
Likewise, Dr. E. Martin Schotz also provided us with a copy of his COPA address, along with some valuable insights.
Thanks, as always, also go to Deanie Richards of JFK Place. Deanie provides us with disk space for the Fair Play archive. JFK Place is an ever-improving repository for some very excellent material, and we encourage everyone to check it out.
Editor Kelin has added some personal stuff to this site.
Fair Play was founded in 1994 by John Kelin and Lalo J. Gastriani. We regard it as one big Op-Ed page; all readers are encouraged to submit articles and letters for use in future issues. You may lambaste us, praise us, or send us Web links. We will run the most thought-provoking stuff we get.
As a rule, Fair Play is oriented toward research and journalism. But we'll run JFK-related fiction, poetry, or anything else of general interest. You may send articles via email (please send a query first) to the following address:

Fair Play was flattered to have been rated among the top five percent of all sites on the Web. The rating came from an outfit called Point Survey, who describe themselves thusly: "Point is a free service which rates and reviews only the best sites on the World Wide Web. We provide surfers with a standard of excellence: a catalog of the most lively, useful, and fun sites on the Net."
Fair Play was also flattered to have been chosen a Cool Site of the Day on November 22, 1994. If you've not yet checked out this site, we suggest you do.
Editor Kelin has a tendency to adopt an editorial "we" when he writes this portion of Fair Play. The plural pronoun is just a convenient device; when he says we he usually means I. The editor has also been known to use the nom de plume, "Lionel Mirthmint." As if he were fooling anybody!
Scrubby time tubby time for editor Kelin's kids. Marshall (left) turns four years old in April; Dana will, at that time, hit twenty months.
The page one photograph of the grassy knoll and the former Texas School Book Depository building was taken by the editor in October 1993. The line beneath it, about Oswald and the American public, comes from Sylvia Meagher's Accessories After the Fact.
