“The Star-Telegram newsroom was virtually deserted that morning as all working reporters had raced to Dallas to cover the tragic story. Still, recalls Schieffer, the phones were ringing off the hook. One call he took he will never forget. It was Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother and she needed a ride to Dallas. Schieffer and the paper’s automotive reporter borrowed a test car and drove her. To this day, he doesn’t know why she called the paper. Perhaps it was because she had once worked as a governess in the home of Star-Telegram founder Amon Carter’s son. Schieffer still recalls that the distraught Mrs. Oswald seemed oddly more concerned with herself than with either her son’s plight or the death of the president of the United States.”
