    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.

  • The Assassination of President John F Kennedy
    The Assassination of President John F Kennedy Aim: To understand the events of 22nd November 1963 • On 22nd November, 1963, President John F. Kennedy arrived in Dallas, Texas. It was decided that Kennedy and his party, including his wife, Jackie Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, Governor John Connally and Senator Ralph Yarborough, would travel in a procession of cars through the business district of Dallas. A pilot car and several motorcycles rode ahead of the presidential limousine. As well as Kennedy the limousine included his wife, John Connally, his wife Nellie, Roy Kellerman, head of the Secret Service at the White House and the driver, William Greer. The next car carried eight Secret Service Agents. This was followed by a car John Connally, Nellie Connally, John containing Lyndon Johnson and Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy in the Ralph Yarborough presidential limousine. At about 12.30 p.m. the presidential limousine entered Elm Street. Soon afterwards a shot was fired. Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman said to the driver, William Greer, "let's get out of here." However, Greer hits the breaks. More bullets were fired, and John F. Kennedy was hit by bullets that hit him in the head and the left shoulder. John Connally was also hit in the back. At this point Jackie Kennedy crawled onto the trunk of the limousine. At the same time Secret Service agent Clint Hill, runs forward from the car behind.

  • A Novel by Bryce Zabel
    CONTACT: For author interview or review copy, email Bryce Zabel [email protected] SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES: What if Kennedy Survived Dallas? A novel by Bryce Zabel (EXCERPT from Chapter 1: Seven Days in November) “The Day JFK Dodged a Bullet” Our nation and the world breathed a sigh of relief upon learning President Kennedy had miraculously avoided the bullets targeting him in Dallas, but that feeling was overshadowed by an almost unthinkable fact: Someone had tried to murder our President. That thought proved to be so unnerving that country music populist Jimmy Dean scored a December 1963 instant hit with his upbeat ballad, “The Day JFK Dodged a Bullet.” The phrasing fit right in with the mythos that had been so carefully cultivated since a young, brave, PT boat officer named John F. Kennedy began seeking office almost twenty years earlier. It was a way to see the unnerving current circumstances as proof of the President’s charmed life rather than a shattering of our national calm. As the events broke that day, however, there was fear and confusion among all the President’s men working in his White House. Many of their WEBSITE: http://www.SurroundedByEnemies.com FACEBOOK: http://www.Facebook.com/SurroundedByEnemies stories of shock and panic in Dallas have been told now, but other accounts have been lost in the fog of conspiracy. We know the number of bullets but continue to argue about who fired them and from where. We also know now that their intended target, President Kennedy, quickly recovered from his minor injuries and sprang into action.
