Christchurch Star digitized for viewing, LHO was in paper 11-16-63?

Interesting read. Thoughts?

What article are they referring to in the Ft  Worth paper two weeks before the assassination?

“Bob Cotton also explains that every newspaper has a large store of biographical material, and says that Lee Harvey Oswald was not a stranger to the media. Information on him would have been readily available in American newspapers and media offices and would have been sent out quickly. In 1959 there had been much coverage in newspapers about young men defecting to the Soviet Union and Oswald’s defection had been covered in detail in The Washington Post, The Washington Evening Starand The New York Times.

Again it was widely reported when Oswald, now with a Russian wife and child, returned to the United States in 1962. The portrait of him in The Christchurch Star had appeared in The Fort Worth Press on 16 November 1963.”

Cory,

 

I don't know who wrote the Christchurch article you linked to, but I think in their zeal, or haste, or bad proofreading, they got the year wrong.

"In a long account in the "Christchurch Star' about Lee Harvey
Oswald -- which included that fine studio portrait in a business
suit, white shirt, and tie -- these press services provided . . ."

     This photograph appeared on page two of The Fort Worth Press,
11/16/59 with an article by Kent Bifle entitled "Turncoat Hangs Up
on Mother."

Isn't this the same paper that had all the details about Oswald and how he supposedly killed JFK from the TSBD, the rifle info and everything, at an incredibly early time/date after the assassination?  Like so early that it defies anything except pre-assassination information being sent?  I could be off here ...

Thanks

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty reported this in his 1992 book on JFK, the CIA, and Vietnam.

Prouty had been sent on a mission to Antarctica by General Ed Lansdale, and he had a stopover in Christchurch on November 22, 1963-- en route to the States.

The website discusses all this.
