I remember the panic at the ABC news desk that day! When it was mentioned that the gun had been bought in Dallas, news anchor Frank Reynolds threw his hands in the air and yelled..”AGH! DALLAS!”
To a Dem lib, Dallas was still a cursed city because of Nov 22, 1963.
Cronkite when on and on about how “right wingers” attacked Adlai Stevenson there are few weeks earlier.
And in the end, a Commie did it.
