Asymptotic distributions.

For a sample (x1,x2, ...xT) of T observations random variable X The sample kurtosis under the normality assumption is distributed asymptotically as a normal with mean 0 and variance 24/T. How can we prove this?Thanks much!

I don't know, but this paper (http://fmwww.bc.edu/ec-p/wp501.pdf) suggests the answer is in Kendall & Stuart (1969)
