    Cameto rysticjue The Am inued Skis• m " Camelot's Mystique: The American Public's Continued Fascination With the Kennedy Assassination By LynDee Stephens University of North Texas Capstone Honors Thesis Spring 1999 h t /l/^ Gloria Cox, university honors program director Richard Wells, journalism department chairman Amid the tract homes and two-car garages that peppered the American landscape in the decade following World War II, there was a controversy brewing, one that could not be contained by government or society. Though America in the 1950s appeared on the surface an ideal society full of hardworking men and happy housewives, it was then that the first strains of the tension that would split the nation over age, morals and race in the 1960s began. It was in this climate, too, that a young, charismatic senator from Massachusetts began a rise to power that ended in his assassination in November 1963 and drew a nation into the mystique of a presidency that would hold widespread fascination for more than a quarter-century. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29,1917. His parents, Joseph and Rose Kennedy, were a wealthy and politically active couple. Joe Kennedy was a United States ambassador with high hopes for the family's future. Rose, in particular, had watched her Jiusband's rise in the international arena and had big plans for her nine children, of which John was the second boy (Patterson, 1). John grew up on the family's New England estate as a young man with big ideas. He attended Princeton University briefly in the late 1930s before transferring to Harvard in 1936, where he would graduate in 1940.

Session: May 2015 Candidate name: Hellen Wu Candidate number: 001127 - 0040 Essay subject: History Supervisor: Ruth Clarke Word count: Main investigation 3915 (excluding references and subtitles) Abstract 300 "1 Abstract This essay investigated the question “to what extent was the Warren Commission report on the assassination of John F. Kennedy accurate in establishing the number and location of shots, proposing that both Connally and Kennedy were struck by the same bullet, and identifying Lee Harvey Oswald as the perpetrator?”. In order to reach a comprehensive conclusion to this question, it was necessary to conduct some simple preliminary research on the social context during Kennedy’s time (i.e. the 1960s), before proceeding to research the chronology of events on the day of his assassination. This enabled a more accurate understanding of the conclusions reached by the The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (i.e. the Warren Commission) as to the nature of the assassination. Because the report by the Warren Commission comprised of numerous conclusions, it was not possible to analyze all of these, and only those most pertinent to the assassination of Kennedy were investigated, specifically the details of the shooting, the “Magic Bullet Theory”, and the identity of the assassin.

    Art Deco at Fair Park Fair Park is home to one of the greatest concentrations of early 20th century Art Deco exposition buildings in the world. For the Texas Centennial Exposition and World's Fair of 1936, a total of fifty structures were erected. Twenty -one of those survive today, including the centerpiece of the entire project, the Hall of State. Enjoy learning the history of Art Deco, touring the art and architecture of Fair Park, and discovering some of the episodes from history that inspired the vision of Hall of State architect Donald Barthelme. Teacher’s Materials Teacher’s The Origins of Art Deco The term Art Deco comes from the 1925 Paris Ex- hibition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (which translates to the “International Exhibi- tion of Decorative and Industrial Arts”). The exposition was dedicated to the display of modern decorative arts, exhibiting the work of thousands of designers from all over Europe. Several countries sponsored pavilions, deco- rative temporary buildings that housed exhibits showcas- ing the splendors of their national culture. The exposition attracted over 16 million visitors, marking the high point of the first phase of Art Deco. The Primavera Pavilion, inspired by African thatched huts. The host city played a very large role in the exhibition. Following the devastation wrought by the Great War, Europe entered a rebuilding era, and France was determined to lead the way. Parisi- ans had traditionally been trendsetters in fashion and the arts, and once again they sought to be the world leaders in style. The exhibition helped to es- tablish the preeminence of French taste and luxury goods.

But so far this bilingual city's 1968 international exposi- tion, "a half-world's fair," has caused more of the kind of excitement that terrifies 'the city's businessmen than the kind that de- lights them. They stand to lose all or part of the $7.5 million for which they have underwritten the fair in case it doesn't wind up in the black; they can fill fat treasure-pots with the long green if all , goes well. On the verge of 'becoming either civic patsies of commercial conquistadores, they are quick to anger and quick to com- promise, rash and 'suddenly politic. Hemis- Fair can make or break many of them. Therefore, HemisFair has entwined it- self all through the jungle of Texas 'poli- tics, whose elected practitioners know the private political meanings of public events and can foretell next year's lists of cam- paign contributions from this year's 'snarl- ups and alignments. HemisFair's exotic and colorful facade has been 'splattered again and again this year with charges of conflicts of interests, questions about the proper uses of public funds, political gueril- la warfare, and even, in the Senate for- eign relations committee, resentment of President Lyndon Johnson. It takes a pro- gram far more candid than HemisFair's ar- tistic brochures to follow the game.

Wilkes, Jr. - November 14, 2018 Fifty-five years ago, at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by hidden sniper fire in Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, TX. This terrible event is still enveloped in mystery. The alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, stridently denied committing the crime, never received legal representation, and was suspiciously murdered while in police custody two days after the assassination. Inept pathologists botched President Kennedy’s autopsy, to put it mildly. Witnesses and persons of interest soon began dying violent or suspicious deaths. The first official investigation of the assassination, undertaken by the Warren Commission, was hurried, inadequate and stacked in favor of the theory that Oswald was the lone assassin. The second official investigation,12 years later, by a select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, was hamstrung by political bickering, time and money limitations, unavailability of or failures of memory by witnesses, loss of evidence (including intentional destruction of documents), and the CIA’s refusal to meaningfully cooperate with the committee.

    FP-052 Swine Building This Structure, Built for the 1936 Texas

    FP-052 Swine Building This structure, built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, today goes by a rather inglorious name – the Swine Building. But it is not just one of the 30 historic structures in Fair Park remaining from that exposition – it is the building many experts consider the best example of that fair’s groundbreaking Texanic style. Called at that time Livestock Building Number 2, the building consists of hollow clay tile and concrete. Its recessed and coffered concrete ceilings, its inset concrete screens and the clean lines of its projecting concrete slabs and ledges reflect excellent craftsmanship for poured-in-place concrete work. Perhaps the primary reason though that the building is so esteemed by architects is that it is the most untouched of the buildings remaining from the 1936 exposition. The doors, interior animal pens, light fixtures, clerestory windows, and even the paint from 1936 are all still visible. Exposition architect George Dahl painted the building’s interior walls and columns one of his favorite colors -- pumpkin. He then accented this pumpkin hue with yellow. The historic paints that you can still see today are “lime wash” paints that chemically bond to the concrete. If you look in those areas of the building that receive the least amount of light, you can really see what the original pumpkin color looked like. The building originally housed swine, sheep and goats, with swine on one side of the central arena space and sheep and goats on the other. The goats were located on the south side where a corner picture window displayed “Milking Parlor” that produced goat’s milk.

Contents [hide] • 1 Background • 2 History • 3 Use in "JFK" • 4 External links [edit] Background Zapruder filmed the scene with a Model 414 PD Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director Series Camera that operated via a spring-wound mechanism at an average tested speed of 18.3 frames-per-second. The entire Dealey Plaza exposed film frames lasts 26.6 seconds, with the presidential assassination sequence occupying 19.3 seconds. There are 486 frames altogether. The sequence is recorded on Kodak Kodachrome II 8 mm movie safety film. Zapruder, who suffered from vertigo, made the film while being steadied by his receptionist, Marilyn Sitzman, standing on the most western of two concrete pedestals which extend from the John Neely Bryan north pergola cement structure, overlooking Elm street in Dealey Plaza. President Kennedy's automobile was below and almost exactly in front of Zapruder on Elm Street, at the time of his fatal wound to the head. The film has been used by the Warren Commission and all subsequent investigations of the assassination. The Zapruder frames used by the Commission consist of exhibits 889–899 plus exhibits 901 and 902 (totaling less than 1 second of the actual 26.6 second film), published in the commission supporting volume XVIII.
