Part 1388 of my "JFK Assassination Arguments" series includes a variety of my posts and comments covering the period of May 1—31, 2025. To read the entire forum discussion from which my own comments have been extracted, click on the "Full Discussion" logo at the bottom of each individual segment.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Here's some interesting NBC Radio news from March 1st, 1969, including the verdict in the Clay Shaw trial in New Orleans and Joe Garagiola's interview with Mickey Mantle just one hour after the Yankee slugger announced his retirement from baseball:

Walk me through this, curtain rod fans....
The curtain rod issue, like every other JFKA issue, has been beaten to death and beyond. I simply want to approach it from the standpoint of epistemology, the plausibility of my analysis versus the plausibility of a CT-oriented analysis.

I don’t insist Frazier and Randle were lying. I recognize their testimony as problematical for the LN narrative; Randle in particular was impressive. If they had said Oswald was carrying nothing but a small sandwich bag, I would recognize this as a huge problem for the LN narrative.
As it is, they established a package of 24-28.5 inches that must have been quite stiff since Randle said Oswald held it in his right hand with the other end toward the ground and Frazier said he carried it toward the TSBD tight against his side with one end under his armpit.
All things considered, I see the most plausible explanation being that the package contained the disassembled Carcano and that Frazier and Randle were simply mistaken about the length by 7 to 10 inches.

The links below contain my $0.02 (or maybe a touch more than that 😁) regarding such things as Curtain Rods, Linnie Randle, Buell Frazier,
Carport Slats, and the Large-ish Paper Bag (which was photographed
on the sixth floor by the police, albeit by accident; see 3rd link):

Here's a candid interview from 1968 with the late President Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, concerning the rather controversial contents of her new book, "Kennedy & Johnson".
I was particularly intrigued by Mrs. Lincoln's comments regarding the often-rumored topic of JFK possibly dropping Vice President Lyndon Johnson from the ticket in the 1964 election:
