Hi, all.
My name is Dave Reitzes. I contributed the cover story, "JFK Conspiracy Theories at 50: How the Skeptics Got It Wrong and Why It Matters," to the latest issue of SKEPTIC Magazine. It's available at finer newsstands now, and you can also purchase the electronic version online at the Skeptic's Society's website.
To ensure you get the proper bang for your buck, the issue also includes "Tracking Science: The Origin of Scientific Thinking in Our Paleolithic Ancestors," by Louis Liebenberg; "The Rejection of Reality: How the Denial of Science Threatens Us All," by Donald Prothero; "The Great Radium Craze," by Ray Sutera; "The Sovereign Citizen Scam," by Joseph Tsidulko; an assortment of interesting columns and reviews, including James Randi's musings on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology; and, last but definitely not least, JUNIOR SKEPTIC's in-depth look at (yes!) mermaids.
I hope you will check it out, and I would be pleased to answer any reasonable questions people may have about my article. (Unreasonable and/or off-topic questions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.)
If anyone is interested in reading more about what the skeptical methodology of people like Michael Shermer and Carl Sagan can teach us about conspiracy theories, please check out a web article of mine, "JFK at the Fringe of Reason: Pseudoscience and Pseudohistory in the John F. Kennedy Assassination." I can't post the URL, but if you Google "reitzes jfk fringe," it will come right up.
Thanks. I hope to hear from you.
Dave
