Presumably the same William Torbitt (psuedonym) who wrote the Samizdat-distributed "Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal."

That Torbitt was a pseudonym has some connection to the themes of our list. It is believed by many--and it sounds plausible to me--that the actual author was a knowledgeable Texas attorney who had gained much familiarity with the facts of the case and, circa 1966-68, wrote his extended pamphlet "The Nomenclature of an Assassination Cabal." Fearing likely sanctions, both professional and personal, he chose not to use his real name, and pamphlet circulated informally, without a formal publisher.
(It is not written in a wacko-style, so I don't dismiss it as the ravings of a loon.)
I haven't checked to see if its on the Web.
