Summary
A Heritage of Nonsense contains nine stories that illustrate Jim Garrison’s malfeasance, his paranoia, and his conspiratorial mindset. There is a commonality that runs through this book: the insidious nature of conspiracy theorists, gullibility that stretches the imagination, and a smattering of mental illness. For the first time ever, you’ll read about the East German Stasi files of Richard Case Nagell, a man who desperately needed psychiatric help; the truth about Rose Cherami who supposedly had foreknowledge of the JFK assassination; a gay rights activist who channeled Lee Harvey Oswald at a séance; a Las Vegas entertainer who became a suspect in Garrison’s investigation because of one phone call; and the search for a lost map of Dealey Plaza. Fred even solves a longstanding JFK assassination mystery. And a whole lot more.
Fred joins TCT today to talk about how Jim Garrison became such a hero in Oliver Stone's JFK film when it seems that a lot of his investigations went nowhere. We talk about some of the colorful characters in the book, including Richard Nagell, Rose Cherami, the Rev. Raymond Broshears, and how the French Intelligence nearly changed the entire narrative of the JFK assassination!

| 1:25.9 | One of the things about entertainment is that |

| 1:47.3 | One of those roles in JFK that was exaggerated was Jim Garrison. |
| 1:51.8 | My guest today, Fred Littwin, has put on an excellent book and he's one of those people who started out as a JFK conspiracy freak. He calls himself that. |
| 2:03.4 | In his first book, I was a teenage JFK conspiracy freak, |
| 2:08.8 | but it has come to the other side, |
