Coffee with a Conspirator

[Dave Taylor]

It really is difficult narrowing down an unending list of questions down to two. In addition, there's so much to be learned from so many of the conspirators. I'd love to learn about Michael O'Laughlen's short life from his lips, for example.

If forced to choose though, I would meet with John Wilkes Booth. I would ask him, "What possible changes in your life do you think would have convinced you to abort the assassination?" and "What were your honest expectations of how your act would be perceived?"
