Oswald's Return.

When I returned to America with Marina and June, I carried baggagefrom the past, notably a suicide attempt in Moscow. I was hopeful back in Fort Worth staying with Robert, and welding it together. Back in Dallas I was a photo processor, but I did not become part of the process. I did a stint in a New Orleans company that made coffee: it was flat-white. Back in Dallas, city of magic name, I rented a rundown apartment with Marina until she walked out on me again. It was love-hate with Marina. I assaulted an officer in the Marines, and one April night I shot at General Walker, a right-wing fanatic, but just missed. Anyway, I moved in to a rooming house in North Beckley when Marina went to Ruth Paine's in Irving. Actually, Ruth found me a labouring job at the Texas School Book Depository, in mid-October 1963: I worked hard for Roy Truly, impressing him and I got along well with co-workers taking textbooks floor to floor. Yet I still felt very poor: I had no car, though I test drove a few. I had no house, just a rented room. President Kennedy had everything I lacked. Was resentment my motive? More like a desire for JFK's fame. Fidel was a secret hero of mine and I really was left wing not just acting a part. Thursday night I stayed at Ruth's; Friday morning I left Marina seventy dollars- all the money I had- and our wedding ring. I got a ride to work with Wesley, carrying a long parcel wrapped in brown paper to the Book Depository, where I clocked in at eight and hurried upstairs to the sixth floor.
