(CBS News) There are not many of us left who covered the assassination of John Kennedy, but only those of us who were alive before that awful weekend can really know how much it changed America.
We had been a confident nation. We had won World War II. We believed in our leaders. We came to see our presidents as all but invincible.
Because of television, we had come to know John Kennedy and his family more intimately than any of his predecessors.
Then, in a matter of seconds, he was killed by a madman.

An entrance would?
That would go with the bullet hole in the windshield
It seems so to me. Following Kennedy we got that polecat LBJ, massive political upheaval the rest of the decade... Things didn't start to look up again until 1980.
And i don't think Oswald acted alone - the ballistics just don't add up.
Well, that didn't come out till much later.
Treason doth never prosper; what is the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
Back and to the left.
There has been a long standing tradition of the rich and powerful having mistresses, and it being an open secret to journalists. JFK didn’t start or finish this. Even GHW Bush had his playthings.
It pulled the Country left. JFK was a moderate to somewhat Conservative, LBJ was ragging Liberal, and the left was able to step up it’s infiltration. Left, Jfk was a
This was the first “ never let a crisis go to waste.” The media turned Jfk in to the liberal he never was.
Nixon was MORE Liberal than JFK. Even in 1960.
True
Oswald although with dubious connections just took it upon himself to pop Kennedy from his perch. Oswald was flamed with pro Castro passion and Kennedy initiated that failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1962.
Also ‘the patsy’ Oswald killed officer JD Tippet as well that fateful day. He was guilty as sin. He just happened to work at the Tx School Depository building and acted upon his murderous plan. No conspiracy with CIA in my opinion just a murderous lefty commie loser who adored Castro. What a loser schmuck.
You really believe all the same tired stuff that has been going around for decades don’t you without doing any real reading on the times and what was going on.
The Cuban Missile Crisis might not have happened if the Bay of Pigs fiasco had never happened, read up on that in detail, it’s as sordid as anything you will find.
Remember the U.S. had put offensive missiles in Turkey first which is not unlike the current war in Ukraine with the U.S. trying to have them in NATO to do the same to Russia again.
Don’t forget that Eisenhower started putting U.S. “Advisers” in Vietnam that helped start that disaster. I believe Kennedy saw that was a mistake and wanted to withdraw. But it was Johnson who escalated the war to the heights it was, not Kennedy. I also believe that Kennedy may have been thinking of dropping Johnson from the ticket, pure speculation maybe but there were rumors of it.
Lots of other information that has taken decades to come to light. You should take a look rather than cling to the old BS.
Well he had good taste, Marilyn Monroe.
That was Bobby’s gal. Or she shared.
If you haven’t read “Double Cross” by Sam and Chuck Giancana it says it all.
interesting.
Why it was President Good Hair.
Maybe rather then buying what ever some fiction writer says you should look at a calendar.
Who was it that withdrew our support for the president of Vietnam? I do believe it was President Good "I screw everything I can get to hold still" Hair who found him "morally objectionable". LBJ may have expanded it but President Good "Give me some more meth" Hair started the ball rolling.
I know you want to believe some stupid fiction about the Irish drug addict but simple facts give the lie to these fantasies.
You obviously just don’t know much at all, and you certainly don’t know what happened at the Bay of Pigs.
BKMRK.
Charles Guiteau might have been madman (as well as a “dissatisfied office seeker”).
Oswald (if he even was the assassin) wasn’t.
I was in 2nd grade. We listened to the coverage in our classroom on a radio.
We had a substitute teacher that day. Our regular teacher took the day off, as she had connections, and was attending a luncheon at the Dallas Trade Mart, where Kennedy was scheduled to speak.
Who was behind JFK’s public execution is the most compelling question of the 20th Century, for me.
