To my knowledge, neither the historical nor the dramatic Herbert Philbrick had the first name "Oswald." I'm most interested to learn where you found this, Magda.
Philbrick's middle name was Arthur.
The claim that the historic LHO was a fan of the Philbrick-based television program is well-entrenched (first promulgated, actually, by Lee's brother Robert; listen to those warning bells -- the shows theme played on a carillon!) and, whether literally true or not, should be appreciated as a significant element in the Oswald legend.
Perhaps my own take on the best-known LHO alias fits into this discussion.
"Hidell" is someone's preferred method to "hide" "l(ee)" and "l(ee)".

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
