Why was Booth admitted into the presidential box?

[L Verge]

Just wanted to add that I am reading John Fazio's book, Decapitating the Union, every opportunity I get. Although I have read only about fifty pages, I recommend that everyone consider studying it. John is a lawyer, and it reflects in his writing, where he covers all angles as much as possible -- and in a very precise and organized manner. Of course, I'm prejudiced because he's covering much of the material that the triumvirate of Tidwell, Hall, and Gaddy did in Come Retribution concerning the possibility of Confederate high command involvement. That's a theory that I will never discard (because it just makes sense!).
