I've heard my parents and other older people say that no one in America who was old enough at the time ever forgot where they were when Kennedy was killed. It also seems that people either don't believe Oswald did it, or if he was somehow involved, he was a scapegoat. It's hard to believe that he was the shooter when even the man who gave him a ride that day said the rifle wouldn't have fit in the package he was carrying.
BTW, this is a very interesting set of articles. I've always been puzzled by that same thing. I've read several books about the JFK assassination and I believe that Oswald was recruited because he was a weirdo who had lived in Russia and whoever was behind the Kennedy killing wanted everyone to think it was some kind of communist plot. I don't know what his role was, but after he was arrested, he kept saying that he was a "patsy" and then he was killed before he had a chance to tell people what he was talking about.

There's a write-up in The New York Post about some guy named Paul Gregory who allegedly knew Oswald and his wife Marina in Dallas. After 60 years, he has written a book called The Oswalds: An Untold Account of Marina and Lee, in which he claims if Oswald had grown up today, he would have been a school shooter. He also says Marina's obsession with JFK could have been one of the reasons Oswald killed him, which is mentioned in the original article in this series.

BTW, this is a very interesting set of articles. I was in my office in Stamford, Conn., working on a manuscript written by an archeologist, when a woman from another office came to the door and told me something had happened to the president. I turned on the radio and a little while later, heard the announcement that he was dead.

BTW, this is a very interesting set of articles. I was in science class. Another teacher came to the classroom door and I remember watching all color drain from the science teacher's face. She looked like she was going to faint as she stood at the front of the room and told us the president had been shot.

I read somewhere recently that the reason behind the government's "lone gunman" claim was that if the Soviet Union or Cuba was blamed, it would cause a conflict that could possibly lead to World War III.

That's one of the theories as to why the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone. What convinces me that he did not act alone, if at all, is that Jackie Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy weren't convinced that he acted alone, and neither is RFK Jr. whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/14664/rfk-insists-cia-involved-assassination

With all those unanswered questions in the first article, I don't know what to think. If his landlady saw him waiting for a bus when Officer Tippit was shot, then who shot Tippit? Even if he did shoot the president, there had to be others involved. One thing that really puzzles me is that he went home to get a handgun instead of taking it to work with him that morning. If he knew he was going to shoot the president and might need the handgun to defend himself, why leave it at home? The last paragraph does make you stop and think that maybe he killed JFK out of petty jealousy, but I think that if he was all that jealous, he would have taken it out on his wife. I've read that he physically abused her.
