Febuary 6, 2007: <BR/><BR/>90 minutes <BR/><BR/>Synopsis of Show: <BR/><BR/>Salvador Astucia talks, via telephone, with the communications director of Manhattan real estate management firm, Brown, Harris and Stevens, the company that managed the Dakota condominium complex where John Lennon lived and was murdered on Dec. 8, 1980. Astucia also calls and speaks with a vice-president of the Wackenhut Corporation because he suspects Lennon's true killer, Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo, was placed by Wackenhut as a security guard (or doorman) at the Dakota. Astucia asks the following questions to officials at Brown, Harris and Stevens and Wackenhut: <BR/><BR/>- Describe the nature of any business dealings between Wackenhut and Brown, Harris and Stevens, particularly those that may have occurred in December 1980(?) <BR/><BR/>- Provide all you know about the security guard/doorman on duty at the Dakota condominium complex when John Lennon was murdered? (Dec. 8, 1980 at 10:50 pm) <BR/><BR/>- How does Wackenhut respond to the allegation (made by many people) that the firm is responsible for the murder of union activist and nuclear plant whistleblower Karen Silkwood? <BR/><BR/>- What was the nature of Wackenhut's business relationship with the late William Casey, former CIA director during the Reagan administration? <BR/><BR/>At the close of the show, Astucia explains how he determined that Jose Joaquin Sanjenis Perdomo was Lennon's true killer. Astucia also evokes the 1966 landmark Supreme Court decision of Miranda vs. Arizona which addressed the problem of police using coercion to extract false confessions from suspects. Astucia compares Mark David Chapman to other people who gave false confessions, like John Mark Karr, the man who recently confessed to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, but prosecutors declined to prosecute Karr because his explanation of the crime did not match known details of the case. Astucia also cites he <BR/>case of the Central Park Jogger, where four teenage boys confessed to raping and everely beating a 28-year-old Caucasian female investment banker jogging in Manhattan's Central Park, in 1989, only to have the true rapist confess years later. (Five boys were convicted of the crime, but only one denied any involvement.) Astucia notes the irony of the Central Park Jogger case because it was botched by the NYPD and Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, the same people who sent Chapman to prison for killing Lennon. <BR/><BR/>ENDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21300246.post-22378356380810634182007-01-27T11:23:00.000-05:002007-01-27T11:23:00.000-05:00Tasha,

Greeting from NYC, and thank you very m...Anonymous,<br />Greeting from NYC, and thank you very much for posting your comments. I hope you do decide to buy “Nowhere Man,” and I hope to hear from you again after you’ve read it. I did my best to infuse the book with John Lennon’s spirit—his “rare spark,” as you call it. <br /><br />I’m very familiar with Lady Jean’s Absolute Elsewhere site; I think it’s the best John Lennon resource on the net. If you haven’t already read it, may I suggest you check out the interview she did with me a few years ago. Here’s the link:<br /><br />http://articles.absoluteelsewhere.net/Articles/robert_rosen_int.html<br /><br />In 1994, my wife and I spent 10 days in Prague, where I believe you’re writing from. It was a beautiful, magical, mysterious city, and we had an amazing time. We hope to return someday.Robert Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629961299437423585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21300246.post-70448978388757439432007-01-27T02:58:00.000-05:002007-01-27T02:58:00.000-05:00I saw coverage of the Jared Leto interview on the ...I saw coverage of the Jared Leto interview on the new movie, and I found out of any websites I've browsed that yours is the most interesting. <br />I admire you so much for writing a book that gives due respect to Lennon's memory and the place he has in the world, our lives, and his family's lives today. He lives on.<br />After reading all I've read today on the movie, I'm not excited. Freedom of speech, yes - respect for the dead, please, and immoralizing malice and ripping off ideas from a respectable author - no.<br />Any correspondence from you would be so appreciated! Good luck with what you're trying to do here.<br />Tasha Perry<br />loveiswhatigot_TASH@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21300246.post-52108290094897674962007-01-26T18:54:00.000-05:002007-01-26T18:54:00.000-05:00It being 27 01 07, and my being on your blog for t...It being 27 01 07, and my being on your blog for the first time ever today, I just had to write.<br /><br />After reading it a couple of times as a teenager, I got rid of Lennon Remembers back in the 1970s in an attempt to avoid heroes and celebrities. And now these days I am back fascinated with Lennon again. Didn't even know about the film, till I read about it on your blog. Will do my best to avoid the film. (Had comps for Back Beat when it screened all those years ago, and was foolish enough to go and then sit through the whole thing.) <br /><br />Since poor John Lennon's dead, the story should have had a beginning and an end, but as I have been delving back into it during the past few days, miles away from Western pop culture, both geographically and mostly miles away in my head (or so I thought), I learn that Yoko has fairly recently been marketing John with records and DVDs, and I learn that you exist and wrote Nowhere Man (quite a few years ago). No end. <br /><br />Now, I'll probably have to get your book. What I read tonight on your site and earlier today in the recollections of Pete Shotton and others' meshes well with the picture I perhaps vaguely had of Lennon and the one I am getting now.<br /><br />(If you haven't read them, I recommend http://articles.absoluteelsewhere.net/Articles/beatles_boyhood_davies.html)AND<br /><br />http://articles.absoluteelsewhere.net/Articles/my_friend_john_davies.html)<br /><br />What I still find fascinating about Lennon is that rare spark of his. It is visible in all kinds of YouTube interviews and performances. It is in his playfulness and also the apparent self-confidence. <br /><br />Not knowing where to take those two gifts next, after having reached the top of what he had been aiming for, seems to have been part of his undoing. But even if he had known, bad luck or Fortuna got in his way.<br /><br />Good night to you, Mr Rosen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
