It has been interesting, as a long time student of the murder of JFK, to read all the comments. Over the years I have accumulated quite a few of the books written about the event. >

Anyone that still believes the Warren cover-up or that Oswald even fired a weapon that day should wear a tin foil hat, because even the U.S. Congress had to finally admit there had been more than one shooter.>

A question, though. Why do you suppose that Gov Connally would not allow the bullet fragments in his leg to be removed? He and his wife always testified the bullet that hit him was NOT the bullet that first hit JFK! The bullet fragments would destroy Arlen Specter's "magic bullet" theory.)

Most of the known facts have been posted. Howard Hunt of later Watergate fame was apparently involved. The actual shooters (not Oswald, the "patsy," by his own admission when he was alive and realized what was happening to him) will probably never be known, but I also believe they tri-angulated with the fatal head shot coming from the "grassy knoll.">

Who benefitted the most from JFK's death? Obviously, it was LBJ and his subsequent actions as Pres reveal his motives. LBJ was capable of orchestrating the entire event - especially the cover-up as Pres - but I doubt we will ever know. Lincoln's assassination is still a controversial subject!>

Incidentally, although I was 35 in '63, I am one who does not remember where I heard the news. (Probably because I was conservative and did not like JFK!)>

Interesting reply. You are the first person that has told me he didn't know where he was. Conservative or not, when the pres get's shot, it's not a slow news day. best wishes.

Has a surgeon ever operated on you? I would never let a surgeon operate on me unless it were medically necessary. I the opinion of my physicians were that bullet fragments in my leg did not have to be removed, I would not have surgery performed to remove them.

Congress's conclussion was based on a recording of an open radio mic on a police motorcycle that was believed to be in Daley Plaza at the time of the shooting. It has since been proven that the motorcycle was miles away at the convention center that the presidential motorcade was heading to, and the sounds on the recording had nothing to do with the assassination.
