The Pope Did It?

[RobertLC]

Good points Roger.

In his book "We Saw Lincoln Shot," Tim Good discusses the issue of human memory recall. He does so at the bottom of the first page of the Preface. That knowledge seemed to guide him in his choice of accounts and the amount of trust he placed in them.

We can also see something similar in Dr. Charles Leale’s account of the assassination that he described in February 1909, compared to his immediate notes, copies of which were discovered by researchers in 2012.

And I completely agree with you that there is no way that I could remember word-for-word a discussion that I had with someone 20 years ago.
