Who Did It?
You would have to be living in a cave (without an Internet connection) in order to miss the
avalanche of books
,
television specials
and
other
commemorations
during the run up to the 50th anniversary of the murder of John F. Kennedy in Dallas in 1963. Anyone alive then – I was ten years old – holds their own searing memories of that fateful Friday in November and the awful days that followed.
Walter Cronkite’s announcement of the death
on CBS, Kennedy’s casket arriving back in Washington, Lyndon Johnson on the tarmac asking for God’s help, the alleged lone gunman
Lee Harvey Oswald
shot and killed on live television, the riderless horse, the funeral,
Jackie and the children
and the eternal flame. The images replay as if they are impressed on a hard drive in the brain. Still, as several news books explore, the question remains – who did it? And why 50 years later do so many Americans reject the unanimous findings of the
Warren Commission
that the inconsequential Oswald acted alone?/
