Dr. David Mantik's long-awaited new book on JFK's head wounds has now been published. It's titled
JFK Assassination Paradoxes: Essays and Reviews & JFK's Head Wounds. I got my copy last week. The book is powerful. In his endorsement of the book, radiation oncologist Dr. Greg Henkelmann summarizes the matter well when he says,
Dr. Mantik's optical density analysis is the single most important piece of scientific evidence in the JFK assassination. Unlike other evidence, optical density data is as "theory free" as possible, as this data deals only with physical measurements. To reject alteration of the JFK skull x-rays is to reject basic physics and radiology.
Dr. Mantik's optical density measurements are hard scientific proof that the skull x-rays have been altered. This historic evidence has been published for well over a decade, but lone-gunman theorists continue to ignore it and continue to pretend that the skull x-rays are pristine and reliable.
Similarly, lone-gunman theorists continue to ignore the hard scientific evidence that the impossible white patch on the right rear of the skull in the lateral skull x-ray must be a fabrication. They have yet to find a single other skull x-ray that shows such an impossibly white patch. Of course, the white patch conveniently covers most of the area that over 40 witnesses said contained a large wound.
