"THE DAY DIED" BY JIM BISHOP Never before had Lyndon Johnson told how he felt and what really happened to him on that catastrophic day when he was suddenly President. Now, he has confided in Jim Bishop, author of "The Day Christ Died" and "The Day Lincoln Was Shot." It was an anguished, historic confrontation: "I am grateful to President Johnson for a private interview on the assassination," says Mr. Bishop. "It was the first time he had discussed it and, from the manner in which it affected him, it may be the last." COPyriCht t964 by JS, bishes. From Ole hook u- r..

  • Some Observations Regarding the JFK Assassination
    Some Observations Regarding the JFK Assassination By Wm. Thomas Sherman Last updated: 29 May 2017 The following are a series of casual commentaries carried on at my website http://www.gunjones.com, originally posted in 2008 and 2009, and which pertain to the assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy. At my website, the subject of the scientifically verifiable existence of spirit people; such as what we normally think of as ghosts, demons, angels, etc., is a common theme and subject; so that my remarks and analysis of the JFK murder to some extent are tied in with that. While I certainly don’t expect that someone just being introduced to my work to readily or out of hand accept my hypothesis and claim regarding “spirit people,” let it at least be said here that I explore that same topic at greater length and depth at my website, and to which I would refer you for further explanation of where I am coming from.1 This said, my comments regarding Nov. 22, 1963 can, to a significant extent, can be assessed on their own merit without any reference or association to my asseverations with respect to spirit people; so that in this document before you are extracts from those website postings that focus exclusively on the Kennedy case. These observations of mine are fairly random, desultory, and as I said casual (including some occasionally humorous in purpose and character), and I don’t claim to be deeply informed expert on the JFK assassination but rather an amateur. However, using what facts and reasoning I do have available to me, I do think that some who are more informed on the subject will, nevertheless, perhaps find some value in them; hence, my gathering them together in one document for their and others’ possible use and benefit.

  • WALTER CRONKITE – IMAGE #36 at Approximately 12:30 P.M. CST On
    WALTER CRONKITE – IMAGE #36 At approximately 12:30 p.m. CST on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while traveling in a motorcade in an open-top limousine as it passed the Texas School Book Depository Building in downtown Dallas, Texas. First lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, Texas Governor John Connally, and his wife, Nellie, were riding with the president. The governor was also shot and seriously wounded. Kennedy was pronounced dead 30 minutes later at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Texan, was riding in the third car behind Kennedy in the motorcade. Earlier that morning when he had awakened in Fort Worth, Texas, Johnson had been greeted by cheerless headlines in the Dallas Morning News. Before arriving in Texas, the vice president had been tasked by Kennedy to ameliorate a rancorous dispute between the wings of the Democrat party. Texas Senator Ralph Yarborough, a liberal leader in the party, had the day before very publicly thumbed his nose at Johnson, the would-be mediator. The humiliation was well documented in the newspapers that morning, and the stories were indicative of where Johnson was in his political career that day. All was not well. Was he politically washed up? Would President Kennedy toss him off the 1964 ticket, as was rumored? How it would end, even this master politician could not foretell. Meanwhile, back in Washington, D.C., a potential scandal for Johnson was slowly building as the Senate rules committee looked into the activities of Robert G. “Bobby” Baker, who had served at Johnson’s appointment as secretary for the Democrat majority during Johnson’s days in the Senate.

  • ORAL HISTORY PROJECT the Ongoing
    ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The ongoing Oral History Project at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza explores the history and culture of Dallas and the 1960s and preserves personal recollections regarding the life and death of President John F. Kennedy. These candid, informal interviews offer insight into the Kennedy legacy and the local—and global—impact of his assassination. The Oral History Collection includes the memories of eyewitnesses, local law enforcement, journalists, civic and political leaders, White House officials, filmmakers and researchers, Kennedy family acquaintances, 1960s schoolchildren, Parkland Hospital personnel, Museum founders and others related to the events of November 22, 1963. These firsthand accounts provide future generations with a tangible link to the past. Over 1,100 interviews have been completed since 1989, with 70 to 80 new recordings added to the collection each year. In an effort to preserve Dallas and U.S. history and culture—and provide context for the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath—the collection spans the years 1955 to 1975, with a particular emphasis on the early 1960s. In addition, the reflections of younger Americans, those born long after 1963, provide unique insights for this collection and help keep President Kennedy’s legacy relevant to current and future generations. Museum lectures, panel discussions, and public/educational programming are also included in the Oral History Collection. This rich archive of “living history” is available to students, researchers and historians from all over the world. Full transcripts of over 600 interviews are available for research. Among the distinguished participants have been: • Dallas mayors J. Erik Jonsson, Wes Wise, Adlene Harrison and Robert Folsom • Television news anchors Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Bob Schieffer, Robert MacNeil, Murphy Martin and Chris Matthews • 60 Minutes creator Don Hewitt and CNN co-founder Reese Schonfeld • Time-Life correspondent Hugh Sidey and publisher Richard Stolley • Senator Harris Wofford, U.S.
