The Assassination of JFK

The roar of the crowd . . . the flicker of an eight-millimeter movie camera . . . the wave, followed by the crack of gunfire . . . the spurting of blood and brains. On November 22 , 1963, the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy stunned the nation like an everlasting horror film.         It started as the soon-to-be assassin , Lee Harvey Oswald , bickered with his wife , Marina , who during the night rested her foot on his leg, then he retaliated in such a ferocious way …

…were oak trees and a traffic-light support post between Oswald and Elm St. That shot was probably deflected by a branch , and its only trace was a nick made in a curb near the triple underpass. The second bullet hit both the President and Gov. Connally just as the limousine came into view from under a street sign. The third shot hit Kennedy in the back of the head , while Oswald had a full view.
