A good article on Harold Weisberg (and if you don't know who he is then you need to read the article.) With thanks to Don Roberdeau for posting this at alt.assassination.jfk
ONE MAN VS. ONE GOVERNMENT
From Part 2:
Among Harold Weisberg's voluminous files, the late, self-made historian had written a small note, possibly meant only for his eyes.
It is a poem, a brief rumination on the power of confusion. It contains a reference to an excerpt in the Bible, Isaiah 59:9. "So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us," the
Bible passage reads. "We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows."

Back in the '80's, I sent Weisberg some money (don't remember how much) to get his JFK newsletter. I wrote to him, quite naively, that I thought that creep Nixon offed Kennedy. He was kind enough to send me a long reply, cautioning me against letting my prejudices lead my inquiries. He also informed me that there were no transcripts of the Oswals interrogations at Dallas police. I wrote back that I was shocked! shocked! He replied ruefully that as I progressed in my investigations into the murder, I would find many more startling revelations. Of course, he was right.
I always appreciated the kindness and patience of his replies. He was a true patriot.
