James DiEugenio Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 One of the first writers to focus on just how bad the media was on the JFK case. He was also very good on how the HSCA went to Hades in a handbasket. If you have not read him, we link to a couple of essays by him https://kennedysandking.com/obituaries/jerry-policoff-feb-27-1947-march-7-2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Schnapf Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 is there a way to get links to the ealy articles that Jerry wrote? This is part of the larger issue of getting the silos of paper files held by long-time researchers scanned to they can become available to the research community. we need to develop record retention contingency plans for older researchers. we cant repeat what happened when Jim Marrs died....

Baylor University has collected Texas researchers' JFK materials. Researchers, especially if published, ought to see if a college archives in their home state will accept their donated collections. Just by browsing, Baylor seems to collect a lot of JFKA materials, and may be interested in the papers of out-of-state authors. What happened to Jim Marrs' materials?

If remember right there was a post about a year ago on here about Baylor. Maybe they had a new director of the department who was less concerned about the subject, not enough funding to do more with the project, too much info to scan with limited resources. I saw Stu Wexler perusing the site earlier, he or Larry would likely know better than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Jerry's NY Times article is at Dave Ratcliffe's site. And yes, there is a way to get at his materials left behind. I will keep an ear to the ground on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Down Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 In a recent podcast, Rob Clark said that Jerry Policoff got his way in having Robert Tannenbaum removed from the HSCA and Blakey being installed instead. I did not realize Policoff played such a role during the HSCA. 29 minutes in on the podcast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
