However, at the upcoming 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 it is this dramatic event that stands out as the mother of all conspiracy theories. <p></p><p>Therefore, as the 60th anniversary of this assasination approaches, we dwell on one of the most mysterious events in American history, and present <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Trauma-Room-One-Medical-Coverup/dp/1931044309/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Trauma+Room+One%3A+The+JFK+Medical+Coverup+Exposed&qid=1606067893&s=books&sr=1-1">Trauma Room One: The JFK Medical Coverup Exposed</a></i> by Charles A. Crenshaw with a foreword by famed Holywood director Oliver Stone.</p><p></p><p>In this gripping account, Dr. Charles Crenshaw, one of the Dallas surgeons who worked on JFK in Trauma Room One, shares what really happened within those walls.</p><p>In November of 1963, the doctors who tried to save <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy">President John F. Kennedy </a>at Parkland Hospital agreed - either out of respect or fear -not to publish what they have seen, heard, or felt. But in 1990, <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149">Charles Crenshaw</a> stepped forward and decided.....</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p> that the American people ought to know the truth.</p><p><span><br /></span>In 1992, when the first edition of this book was published under <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Silence-Charles-A-Crenshaw/dp/0451403460" target="_blank"><i>JFK: Conspiracy of Silence</i></a>, <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw</a> revealed what he never had the opportunity to tell the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Commission" target="_blank">Warren Commission</a>. </p><p><a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw</a> states, "The wounds to Kennedy's head and throat that I examined were caused by bullets that struck him from the front, not the back, as the public has been lead to believe."<br /><br />Shortly after publication, the <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/journal.aspx" target="_blank">Journal of the American Medical Association</a> (JAMA) called <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw's</a> book a fabrication. But in court, the claim did not hold up, and <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw</a> subsequently prevailed in a defamation suit against <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/journal.aspx" target="_blank">JAMA</a>. In the process, a number of new medical disclosures have emerged on the startling medical cover-up of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy" target="_blank">JFK</a> assassination.<br /><br />60 years after the Kennedy assasination and 30 years after the first publication of this book by a true insider, many Americans still believe that it was not just one person, Lee Harvey Oswald, who was involved in Kennedy's death.

Saint Nicholas attended the First Council of Nicaea, which was the first effort to attain consensus in the Church through an assembly representing all of Christendom. Later on Saint Nicholas became an important figure for Italians and Greeks, honored in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church. Throughout Europe he is celebrated for his generosity, especially towards children.<br /><br />In the Netherlands, Saint Nicholas became a figure of folklore, who would visit the Netherlands every November traveling by steamboat from Spain, riding a white horse and joined by.... </span></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span>mischievous and hilarious helpers, called Zwarte Piet ("<a href="https://mymerrychristmas.com/the-story-of-black-peter/">Black Pete</a>"), dressed in colourful outfits.

Schenkman also became well-known for his poems about Saint Nicholas, which are still sung throughtout the holidays, for example:'<a href="http://www.stnicholascenter.org/pages/zie-ginds-komt-de-stoomboot/">Zie, ginds komt de stoomboot</a>' ("Look over yonder, the steamboat is arriving").<br /><br />Saint Nicholas is not just Dutch folklore, it also is the link to the origins of the American Santa Clause. When the Dutch established the colony of New Amsterdam (current New York), they celebrated the traditions of Saint Nicholas, and apparently over time shortened "Sinterklaas" to "Santa Claus". In the early 1800s, American books were published that symbolized the advent of Santa Claus in American tradition, for example: <i><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/old-santeclaus-with-much-delight-anonymous/1140570943?ean=9781646796946" target="_blank">Old Santeclaus with Much Delight </a></i>and<i> <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-night-before-christmas-clement-c-moore/1103331761?ean=9781945934421" target="_blank">A Visit from St. Nicholas</a></i> by Clement Clark Moore.<br /><br />It is with this fascinating history in mind, from the early Christian days to European and Dutch folklore, to Santa Claus in North America, that Cosimo is proud to present to our Dutch readers a beautiful color replica of the Dutch edition of <i><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sint-nicolaas-en-zijn-knecht-jan-schenkman/1125310613?ean=9781944529727" target="_blank">Sint-Nicolaas en zijn knecht </a></i>by Jan Schenkman.

This is an important 1965 report by then Assistant Secretary of Labor under President Lyndon B. Johnson, the liberal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Patrick_Moynihan" target="_blank">Daniel Moynihan</a>, who addressed the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> problem of black poverty.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Different from the orthodox view at the time that economic conditions determine social conditions, this report concluded that the conditions under which black children were being raised, generally in single-mother households, were the leading cause of black poverty. In order to address this, Moynihan called for jobs programs and vocational training for blacks. In his words:</span></div><div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"The fundamental problem… is that of family structure. The evidence - not final but powerfully persuasive - is that the Negro family in the urban ghettos is crumbling.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">While this report was believed to have influenced the creation of President Johnson's War on Poverty, its conclusions were criticized by many black and civil rights leaders. Whatever the various criticisms, this controversial report... <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">turned out to have been of long-lasting influence in the debate about the major problems facing the African American people. Although the circumstances have improved for many African Americans, several statistics have not improved or even deteriorated: in 1965 with approximately 25 percent of black babies born out of wedlock, this percentage has grown to 75 percent—with 50 percent for Hispanic babies and 29 percent for white babies. In other areas, such as income, employment, and incarceration, the statistics have deteriorated for blacks.

"Isn't that strange? It took some babies to teach grown-ups to be nice to each other. Do you suppose that has anything to do with Christmas?" - The Christmas Mice<br />
<div>
<br />
Our festive Book of the Month for December is <i><a href="http://cosimobooks.com/b3772_John-W-White-1616407662-9781616407667.htm">The Christmas Mice</a> </i>by <a href="http://cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4135">John White</a> and illustrated by <a href="http://www.dorothyhallarts.com/#sthash.yv1aApVw.dpuf">Dorothy L. Hall</a>.<br />
<br />
The Christmas Mice, a tale for children, is a heartwarming story of love and acceptance. It tells of two mice, Roger and Emily, who are outcasts from their community because they are different. One is green, the other is red-the colors of Christmas.<br />
<br />
Encouraged by the birth of his children and the beauty of a Christmas tree, Roger teaches the rest of the meadowmice an important lesson about love and brotherhood. As the two main characters gain acceptance and understanding from the other mice, the importance of peace and oneness of all life is sensitively communicated. Especially relevant this year due to the tumultous times, this book would make the perfect bedtime story or gift.<br />
<br />
The Christmas Mice is a touching tale with a powerful message that will delight young readers of all ages. The book is available in paperback at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Mice-John-W-White/dp/1616407662/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1385834023&sr=1-1&keywords=the+christmas+mice+cosimo">Amazon</a>, and in paperback at <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-christmas-mice-john-warren-white/1000522696?ean=9781616407667">Barnes & Noble</a>.

Saint Nicholas attended the First Council of Nicaea, which was the first effort to attain consensus in the Church through an assembly representing all of Christendom. Later on Saint Nicholas became an important figure for Italians and Greeks, honored in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church. Throughout Europe he is celebrated for his generosity, especially towards children. Next Sunday evening, December 5, the Dutch will celebrate their feast of Sint Nicolaas, with poems, marzipan, ginger biscuits and hot chocolate, and with presents for the </span><span style="font-size: medium;">children.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />In the Netherlands, Saint Nicholas became a figure of folklore, who would visit the Netherlands every November traveling by steamboat from Spain, riding a white horse and joined by.... </span></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>mischievous and hilarious helpers, called <i>Zwarte Piet</i>, dressed in colourful outfits. <i>Zwarte Piet</i> first appeared in print in <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sint-nicolaas-en-zijn-knecht-jan-schenkman/1125310613?ean=9781944529727">Sint Nicolaas en zijn knecht</a></span><i><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sint-nicolaas-en-zijn-knecht-jan-schenkman/1125310613?ean=9781944529727"> </a></i><span>("St. Nicholas and His Apprentice"), published in 1850 by Jan Schenkman, a teacher from Amsterdam.

When the Dutch established the colony of New Amsterdam (current New York), they celebrated the traditions of Saint Nicholas, and over time shortened "Sinterklaas" to "Santa Claus".

Johnson, the liberal Daniel Moynihan: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Moynihan-Report-Family-National-Action/dp/1945934298/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BNWH4AFQUOKT&dchild=1&keywords=the+moynihan+report&qid=1605692031&sprefix=the+moy%2Caps%2C310&sr=8-1cosimo-20">The Negro Family: The Case for National Action aka The Moynihan Report</a></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Different from the orthodox view at the time that economic conditions determine social conditions, this report concluded that the conditions under which black children were being raised, generally in single-mother households, were the leading cause of black poverty. In order to address this, Moynihan called for jobs programs and vocational training for blacks. In his words:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"The fundamental problem… is that of family structure. The evidence - not final but powerfully persuasive - is that the Negro family in the urban ghettos is crumbling.”</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">While this report was believed to have influenced the creation of President Johnson's War on Poverty, its conclusions were critized by many black and civil rights leaders. Whatever the various criticisms, this controversial report... <span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">turned out to have been of long-lasting influence in the debate about the major problems facing the African American people. Although the circumstances have improved for many African Americans, several statistics have not improved or even deteriorated: in 1965 with approximately 25 percent of black babies born out of wedlock, this percentage has grown to 75 percent—with 50 percent for Hispanic babies and 29 percent for white babies. In other areas, such as income, employment, and incarceration, the statistics have deteriorated for blacks. Clearly, the debate about the causes of black poverty is still not settled in modern day America.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cosimo Reports offers both a<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-moynihan-report-us-department-of-labor/1132266013?ean=9781945934292"> paperback</a> and<a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-moynihan-report-us-department-of-labor/1132266013?ean=9781945934520"> hardcover edition</a> of this important report.</span></p><p><br /></p>Cosimo, Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05733937224534986726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016329204337041962.post-72108446883223025672020-11-17T04:05:00.002-05:002020-11-18T06:33:22.231-05:00Black Fatigue - the Intergenerational Impact of Racism<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WtBObsi3kuQ/X7TeXdaGMjI/AAAAAAAACTk/acx1vCeRCX807LhBjuPrDq-XUhglea0KACLcBGAsYHQ/s499/Black%2BFatigue.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="323" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WtBObsi3kuQ/X7TeXdaGMjI/AAAAAAAACTk/acx1vCeRCX807LhBjuPrDq-XUhglea0KACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Black%2BFatigue.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;">It is not a common occurence that we present books by other publishers, but we are happy to make an exception for an unique book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Black-Fatigue-Racism-Erodes-Spirit/dp/1523091304/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Black+Fatigue&qid=1605688167&sr=8-1%20cosimo-20"><i>Black Fatigue - How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit </i>b</a>y Mary-Frances Winters and published by <a href="https://ideas.bkconnection.com/black-fatigue">Berrett Koehler Publisher </a>(an Oakland based publishing company dedicated to change the world for the better).</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Black Fatigue</i> is the first book to define and explore Black fatigue, the intergenerational impact of racism on the physical and psychological health of Black people--and explain why and how society needs to collectively do more to combat its pernicious effects.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Positive reviews</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“Black Fatigue is unbelievably well-written, unrelentingly honest, and unapologetically focused on the specific experiences of Black people.

Troubled by personal problems - as well as by the spirits he claimed to have angered in writing the Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts - Joe Fisher took his own life on May 9, 2001. That he would do so is all the more surprising considering what he had written earlier in <i>The Case for Reincarnation</i>: "As much as the suicidal personality feels able to escape the world by getting rid of the body, reincarnation's revolving door ensures that all hope (of escape) is short lived. Those who learn that they have killed themselves in past lives are quickly brought to the realization that suicide, far from being an answer to life's problems is (instead) the violent breaking of the lifeline. If the (suicide) could only realize the resulting intensification of difficulty which must enter the life to come, (suicide) would never be (attempted)."</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium; line-height: 17.3333px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Cosimo is proud to offer this title in paperback and hardcover at leading online bookstores including </span><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-siren-call-of-hungry-ghosts-joe-fisher/1016976765?ean=9781931044028" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Barnes & Noble</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> and </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Siren-Call-Hungry-Ghosts-Investigation/dp/1931044023/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1412274295&sr=1-1" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">Amazon</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">, as well as in </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Siren-Call-Hungry-Ghosts-ebook/dp/B00AWBQHXG/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1412274295" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank">ebook </a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">format. </span></span></p><p><span style="line-height: 17.3333px;"><br /></span></p>Cosimo, Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05733937224534986726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016329204337041962.post-26587691691235360312019-12-24T10:00:00.000-05:002019-12-24T10:00:08.009-05:00December Quote of the Month: 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house / Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the poem was published anonymously, it was attributed to Clement Clark Moore in 1837. However, scholars have debated the identity of the author of this poem and some believe it was written by Henry Livingston, Jr., (1748-1828), a New York farmer who also wrote poetry.<br />

<i>The Night Before Christmas</i> has had a great influence on the American notion of Santa Claus and on its tradition of Christmas gift-giving, which, before the poem, had been inspired by the Dutch figure of St. Nicholas.

It is one of the most beloved novels in the English language, and its protagonists among the best friends a reader can have. Louisa May Alcott's <i><a href="http://cosimobooks.com/book_description.php?book=3535&texto=Little-Women-161640244X-9781616402440&uri=">Little Women</a></i>—inspired by her own childhood with three sisters in Concord, Massachusetts—is the simple, elegant tale of tomboy Jo March, who strains against the limitations of women of her time, and dependable Meg, compassionate Beth, and spoiled Amy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Their childhood adventures and squabbles as well as their adult romances and travels continue to enthrall and delight readers a century and a half after the novel was first published, and have inspired stage plays, comic books, and countless film adaptations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next adaptation of <i>Little Women</i> will be out next week! Releasing December 25th, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, and Meryl Streep. Watch the trailer below!</div>

With Christmas right around the corner, it's inevitable that Scrooge and Oliver Twist will be popping up on everyone's television. However, <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/classics_author.php?author=3370">Charles Dickens</a>' fascinating works are truest in their original form — books. This month, Cosimo is excited to present <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/series.php?s=7"><i>The Complete Works of Charles Dickens</i></a> as our December Series of the Month.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/classics_author.php?author=3370">Charles Dickens</a> is iconic, legendary, and masterfully clever. In these thirty beautiful volumes, which include each and every work written by <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/classics_author.php?author=3370">Charles Dickens</a>, readers can immerse themselves in the mind of one of history's most celebrated literary geniuses. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his many celebrated characters are mentioned time and time again. But it was his stirring portraits and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century.<br />

<br />
<i>Old Time Recipes</i>, originally published in 1909, is a descriptive, charming cookbook for those who want to make their own wines and liqueurs from any and all available ingredients, including fruits, flowers, vegetables, and shrubs. It includes an introduction from the author and the ingredients and instructions for making and fermenting your own spirits, from wine and ale to sherry, brandy, cordials, and even soda. Not only is this book interesting for those who want access to recipes from the old country, it's also good for those looking for a laugh: cock ale, cowslip wine, koumiss (a tartar wine that uses fresh mare's milk), and elephant's milk recipes are all included.<br />

<br />
Isabella Mary Beeton was the 19th century's Martha Stewart, and she is responsible for organizing the rules of domestic life into the first easy-to-follow guide. Eminently browsable and still highly useful today, Beeton's tome is a masterly compendium of practical information, and covers such essential topics as: recipes of cooking all manner of meat, fish, vegetable, pudding, and pastry; hints on the proper arrangement of a functional kitchen; ideas for table decorations (including the correct way to fold napkins); tips for carving poultry; charts on the seasons and prices (in the 1800s, of course) of all manner of edibles; and much more.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Care for a bit of Colcannon? Craving some Winter Hotch-Potch? Wishing for Wow-Wow Sauce? This newly released edition of <i>The Cook's Oracle</i> is an exact replica of Dr. Kitchiner's original book first published in 1829. A bestseller in its day, Kitchiner's fundamentals of 19th-century cookery cover the gamut from meat & fish to gravies & sauces to puddings & pies, including many of his favorite "receipts." Interestingly enough, he toured with a moveable taste cabinet; a folding cupboard stocked his unique mustards and sauces. And, unlike most food writers of the era, he whipped up the recipes himself, carried out the dreaded after-dinner clean up, and did all his own housework! A marvelous culinary artifact of 19th-century cookery, this book is certain to delight both social historians and food-lovers alike.<br />

<br />
Compiled in honor of the American centennial in 1876 and consisting of recipes solicited from American women all over this country, this 1876 work is the best reflection we have today of how and what Americans ate in the mid 19th century. But this isn't just a vital work of culinary history—it's also bound to make you hungry for the hearty fare it promotes. Renowned for its extensive selection of recipes for cooking game (venison, rabbit, and game birds were staples of the American diet at the time), but instructions for preparing them became hard to find after game fell out of favor. This book also includes such delicious-sounding dishes as: New Orleans Gumbo Soup, Barbecued Fish, Oyster Omelet, Beefsteak Pie, Squabs in Olives, General Washington's Breakfast Cake, and Sweet Potato Pudding.<br />

In honor of his birthday on November 29th, we are showcasing <i><a href="http://cosimobooks.com/book_description.php?book=1983&texto=C.S.-Lewis-1596053720-9781596053724&uri=">Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics</a></i> by C.S. Lewis!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
C. S. Lewis is a profound and perhaps the most respected Christian apologist because his belief was so hard-won. This collection of verse, written immediately after he returned from the battlefields of World War I in 1919, offers penetrating insight into the psyche of a young man struggling with traumatic wartime experiences and the crisis of faith they engendered. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By turns angry, bitter, and melancholy, these poems constitute a provocative document of Lewis's journey from atheism through agnosticism and on to conviction.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>About the Author</u></div>
<div>
Irish writer Clive Staples ("Jack") Lewis (1898-1963) was born in Belfast. A volunteer in the British Army during World War I, he served in the trenches of France, and returned to study and teach at Oxford University; he later accepted a post at Cambridge University, retiring only months before his death. His best-known works are <i>The Chronicles of Narnia</i> (1950-1956), <i>Mere Christianity</i> (1952), and his autobiography, <i>Surprised by Joy </i>(1955).</div>

<b>"I stated that President Kennedy was shot at least once, and Oswald could not have been a 'lone gun-man'."</b><br />
- Charles Crenshaw, 2001<br />
<br />
This November, we are presenting <i><a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/b3393_Trauma-Room-One-The-JFK-Medical-Coverup-Exposed-1605209279-9781605209272.htm">Trauma Room One: The JFK Medical Coverup Exposed</a> </i>by <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149">Charles A. Crenshaw</a> with a foreword by Oliver Stone, as our Quote of the Month.<br />
<br />
In this gripping account, <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149">Dr. Charles Crenshaw</a>, one of the several Dallas surgeons who worked on JFK in Trauma Room One, shares what really happened within those walls.<br />
<br />
In November of 1963, the doctors who tried to save <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy">President John F. Kennedy </a>at Parkland Hospital agreed---either out of respect or fear---not to publish what they have seen, heard, or felt. But in 1990, <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149">Charles Crenshaw</a> stepped forward and decided that the American people ought to know the truth.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span>In 1992, when the first edition of this book was published under <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Conspiracy-Silence-Charles-A-Crenshaw/dp/0451403460" target="_blank"><i>JFK: Conspiracy of Silence</i></a>, <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw</a> revealed what he never had the opportunity to tell the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Commission" target="_blank">Warren Commission</a>. <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw</a> states, "The wounds to Kennedy's head and throat that I examined were caused by bullets that struck him from the front, not the back, as the public has been lead to believe."<br />
<br />
Shortly after publication, the <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/journal.aspx" target="_blank">Journal of the American Medical Association</a> (JAMA) called <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw's</a> book a fabrication. But in court, the claim did not hold up, and <a href="http://www.cosimobooks.com/current_author.php?author=4149" target="_blank">Crenshaw</a> subsequently prevailed in a defamation suit against <a href="http://jama.jamanetwork.com/journal.aspx" target="_blank">JAMA</a>. In the process, a number of new medical disclosures have emerged on the startling medical cover-up of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy" target="_blank">JFK</a> assassination.<br />
