The one person who could have supplied key answers is never asked questions.By mid-1964, the nightmares from Dallas remain, and he resigns. It isnt until the fiftieth anniversary that he begins to talk about it, and he reads his first books on the assassination.Landis learns about the raging conspiracy theories-and realizes where they all go wrong.
