I wondered why Stone's movie changed 'Michael and Ruth Paine' into 'Janet and Bill Williams'. Mae's article points out the fact that Mike Paine's boss was the virulently nazi war criminal Walter Dornberger, and that Paine had security clearances with the Defense Department that would obviously be compromised by having 'lefty Russian defectors' like Oswald in their home. Mae did another article, listing 'Oswald's last words', all of the statements he made before he was shot. Among them were 'that station wagon belongs to Ruth Paine, don't try to tie her into this'. Refers to witness statements that Oswald was seen leaving Dealey Plaza in a station wagon, which wouldn't fit the 'official story' that was settled on later. Someone on one of these recent threads was making an issue out of the fact that the officer (Dep. Walters or Officer Craig) mis-identified the make of Paine's station wagon, as a way of discounting the evidence, but why would the interrogators ask about a station wagon, and Oswald concede its existence? That issue had to disappear, since Oswald didn't drive himself to work, and who would know he would want picked up at 12:30? If he got a ride from Dealey, by definition there was a conspiracy.
