DOUBLE ACTION

Re "Return of the Messenger" (Feature story, Oct. 2):

After reading your article on Gary Webb, I was saddened to see his
cause of death once again listed as suicide. Really? this man uncovers
a drug-running scandal that winds up implicating two former presidents
and our intelligence-gathering apparatus and then takes his life by
shooting himself twice with a .38 revolver? Again, really? The
Mockingbird machinery is obviously still in place and well oiled. I'm
sure you're aware the first shot exited through his lower left jaw.
Please show on a diagram an angle how this is possible without it
being a ridiculously counter intuitive way to hold a weapon. To the
other readers out there, stand in front of a mirror pretending to hold
a revolver and try to find a believable way to to make that first
shot. It doesn't work. What more can be said, other than "the mighty
Wurlitzer plays on."
