John F. Kennedy

Many
have always felt that the late JFK would want to be
remembered for what he did in office, and not for
how he died. |

The above headline appeared Saturday morning
November 23rd, 1963 in "The Dallas Morning News"
as the nation swoon in a stunned haze. This year marks the
40th anniversary of the day that America lost her innocence's.
Since the
death of President John F. Kennedy theories concerning the assassination
have flown as fast as a hail of bullets. No one seems to want to
believe that
Lee Harvey Oswald
acted alone, and that may be
natural. That someone who embodied the countries optimism, and
vigor could be destroyed so easily by a crackpot never-do-well was
unbelievably unfair.
The list of potential conspiracy suspects reads
like a laundry list of both the good and the evil. Implicated at
various times by a hodge-podge of different theorist have been: the
CIA, the FBI, the Russian’s, the Chinese, the Swiss, (yes I said the
Swiss) the Mason’s, the MIB’s, the Mafia, Jimmy Hoffa (supposedly
one of the reasons for his disappearance), and of course vice
president LBJ.
Speculation was even made about the fact that
as a child Bill Clinton had shaken the hand of the President! No
one is safe from the finger of blame when the JFK assignation buffs
get started even a preadolescent at the time, and men in the crowd
sporting umbrellas!
