"Donahue telephoned the editor he'd been working with at True magazine and told him he wouldn't be able to finish the article endorsing the Warren Commission's conclusions after all. "I found a few inconsistencies and I don't know if I'll be able to resolve them", Donahue said. He added with a laugh, "I'll stay with this and figure it out. I'll be back in touch." Actually, Donahue had no plans for abandoning his work. In just eight months, working on weekends and evenings in his cluttered basement den, he had been able to construct a rebuttal to the critics of the Commission's single bullet theory that effectively destroyed their principal arguments. More important, he was sure he'd identified two serious flaws in the Government's explanation of the head wound, flaws those same critics has (sic) missed entirely."
