Updated: Oct 11, 2021
M.S. Arnoni was the editor of The Minority of One, a small, independent left-wing journal that was published monthly in the 1960s. The JFK assassination was an important topic in the journal and Sylvia Meagher was a regular contributor. Both Arnoni and Meagher took a dim view of Jim Garrison, and here is an unsigned article from the October 1967 issue that was written by Arnoni:


Jim Garrison sent a reply to Arnoni:



Garrison refers to the Ruby code - here is a blog post about Jim Garrison, the Cryptologist.
Sylvia Meagher wrote Arnoni a letter in response:


There were several letters to the editor regarding Arnoni's article:


Sylvia Meagher sent this letter to Arnoni regarding the letters to the editor:


Arnoni sent a copy of his article to Irvin Dymond, the trial lawyer for Clay Shaw:

Irvin Dymond replied:


Dymond made some important points about the issues facing Clay Shaw's defense team.
Here is another blog post with a memo written by Irvin Dymond on the difficulties of defending Clay Shaw. There was no discovery in the Louisiana courts in the 1960s and Clay Shaw had to spend a lot of money on detectives to run down every lead they would find out about.
