The Kennedy Assasination

Last Thursday I was able to visit the Kennedy Museum in Dallas and do the tour of the infamous 6th floor of the former Texas Schoolbook Depository and see the window thru which Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy on Noverber 22, 1963.  It is a chilling experience.  What struck me most of all is what an easy shot Oswald had.   With the rifle he had at his disposal, hitting his mark was a cinch even if he wasn't the greatest shot in the world.  History turned forever on that early afternoon 49 years ago.  Now I am reading the Gerald Posner account of the crime called CASE CLOSED.  The book is absorbing.  Oswald's story is engrossing.  More later.
