NOVEMBER 22, 1963 (Friday) NOVEMBER 22, 1963 (Friday) 12:00 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Nine Secret Service agents drinking at Pat Kirkwood’s bar the “Cellar Door” in Fort Worth, Texas. Several of the women serving liquor to the agents are also strippers from Jack Ruby’s Carou- sel Club in Dallas. (Pat Kirkwood is a licensed pilot and owns a twin-engine plane. He will fly to Mexico hours after JFK’s assassination.) Bob Schieffer, night police reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram remembers “... the waitresses wore underwear. That was their business attire, as it were, and people sat around on cushions on the floor.” The Carousel Club in Dallas sits across the street from the Hotel Adolphus at 13121⁄2 Commerce St., upstairs from a delicatessen. The outdoor walls are covered with provocative photos of scantily clad burlesque dancers, offering a glimpse of what can be viewed inside for a $2 cover charge. In Madrid, Spain today - the CIA reports hearing from a Cuban journalist who claims to have received a letter stating that GPIDEAL [President Kennedy] will be killed today. On this date, Aristotle Onassis is in Germany for the christening of his newest ship “The Olympic Chiv- alry.” On this date, Clay Shaw is in San Francisco. Note on Clay Shaw: It is now known that Clay Shaw, eventually charged by New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison in the JFK murder, has a relationship with the CIA. Besides being a contact of the CIA’s Domestic Contact Division, a 1967 memo released in 1992 notes that Shaw has been granted a covert security approval in December 1962 for “Project QKENCHANT.” Another person approved for this same project is E. Howard Hunt, of Watergate fame. Gerry Patrick Hemming is reportedly in Miami. E. Howard Hunt is reportedly in Dallas. Jack Ruby meets Richard Meyers, of Brooklyn, NY for five minutes at the Cabana Motel in Dallas. H&L In today’s issue of Life magazine, Clint Murchison’s lawyers, Bedford Wynne and Thomas Webb, are named as members of the “Bobby Baker Set.” Wynne is under federal investigation regarding government funds he is receiving through a Murchison family corporation, some of which have ended up as payoffs (via Thomas Webb) to the law firm of Bobby Baker. [Baker is LBJ’s right hand man. Murchison’s empire overlaps with that of Mafia financial expert Meyer Lansky and Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa.] HT 12:30 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Marina Oswald notices that her husband, LHO, is still awake. 12:50 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) JFK arrives at the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. 2:00 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Seven Secret Service agents are still drinking at “The Cellar.” 2:15 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Mary Lawrence, head waitress at the Lucas B&B Restaurant - two doors down from the Vegas Club, says she is positive that LHO enters the restaurant and tells her and the night cashier that he is waiting for Jack Ruby. When Ruby enters the restaurant, the two men sit together and talk for over a half an hour and then leave. A week and a half after the assassination, Mary will receive a phone call from an unknown man who says, “If you don’t want to die, you better get out of town.” H&L 3:30 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) The Secret Service men at “The Cellar” are joking about how several firemen are the only ones left guarding the President at the Hotel Texas, in Fort Worth. 5:00 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) One Secret Service agent is still drinking at “The Cellar.” ALL AGENTS HAVE TO REPORT FOR DUTY AT 8:00 AM ON THE MORNING OF THE 22ND -- three hours from now. Bob Schieffer remembers: “While there, we were joined by some Secret Service agents from Kennedy’s detail. They were off-duty, but they wanted to go. They weren’t drinking. But we managed to see the dawn come up and see the sun rise in Fort Worth before we left the place.” PKHBS Lee Harvey Oswald has been awake most of the night, not able to sleep, finally dozing off about this time. Marina avoided him last night - soaking in a bath for an hour before coming to bed. 6:15 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Mrs. Marie Tippit has made breakfast for her husband, Dallas Police officer JD Tippit, who routinely leaves the house no later than 6:15 a.m. each day. She, too, has a hectic schedule. To make extra money, she is baby-sitting a boy during the day and other children during the evening. The Tippits have three children of their own: Charles Allan, born in 1950; Brenda, born in 1953; and Curtis, born in 1958. Officer Tippit is no stranger to tough situations while on duty. Once, a suspect’s gun failed to fire. He has also been stabbed in the knee with a knife. His wife loved the therapy recommended by the doctor – dancing. So the couple has made regular visits to a Dallas dance club, where they have lovingly embraced while dancing to Bob Wills’ “Faded Love.” 6:40 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Marina Oswald awakens to feed her baby, Rachel, and checks on her other child, June. TDKWS 7:00 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) In Dallas, seventeen men line up before Deputy Chief W. W. Stevenson. The pa- trolmen are told that their function will be to “seal” the Trade Mart in preparation for JFK’s visit. Two thousand, five hundred people are expected to attend this event which is scheduled for 12:30 PM. TDKWS J.D. Tippit reports for duty. (According to one source, Tippit’s wife - Marie - visits a neighbor later this morning in tears because “on that morning Officer Tippit has told her he wanted a divorce to marry someone else.” Conspiracy Some researchers have pointed out the fact that J. D. Tippit closely resembles JFK - so much so that some mem- bers of the Dallas Police force often jokingly call Tippit “Jack” and “JFK.” This similarity has led some reserch- ers to advance the theory that it is Tippit’s body in the autopsy photographs proporting to show the body of JFK. Additionally, Tippit’s head wounds and JFK’s head wounds are in almost identical locations - again leading some researchers to advance the theory that X-rays of Tippit’s skull were later substituted for JFK’s. It will also be noted that Tippit’s body is taken from the murder scene before the arrival of police and is subsequently taken to two hospitals. Two Secret Service agents are at Fort Worth Police Headquarters examining two limousines which have been rented for the Kennedys and the Secret Service to use during the four-mile drive from the Hotel Texas to Carswell Air Force Base. TDKWS JFK’s valet, George Thomas, awakens the President - who is asleep in Suite 850 of the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. TDKWS 7:08 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry appears on local television and announces that the President will be in Dallas today and that Dallas wants no incidents. Curry concludes by asking all good citizens to please report to the Dallas Police Department anyone who has voiced violent opinions against the President or who has boasted, publicly or privately, of plans to demonstrate today. TDKWS 7:10 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Lee Harvey Oswald is still asleep ten minutes after his alarm goes off. Marina wakes him. He rushes to dress in order to leave for work at this time. He tells his wife that she should buy new shoes for baby June. TDKWS As JFK dresses this morning in Fort Worth, Texas, he dons his underwear and a surgical corset. He laces it tightly, then pulls a long elastic bandage over his feet and twists it so that it forms a figure eight. He then slips it up over both legs. Finally, it is adjusted over his hips where it supports the bottom of his torso, while the back brace holds the lower spine rigid. TDKWS The Warren Commission notes that JFK’s back brace is six inches wide and only waist high, no higher than the navel. BT 7:15 AM (Nov. 22, 1963) Lee Harvey Oswald leaves his home to go to work at The Texas Book Depository Building. Marina says he leaves his wedding ring and, by some reports, his wallet on the bedroom dresser. (The Dallas police will later claim they find a wallet on Oswald following the assassination. There is no indication that he used two wallets.) This is cited by some as evidence that he intended to shoot JFK. He does leave home wearing his U. S. Marine Corps signet ring and an identification bracelet with the name “Lee” inscribed on it. He will be wearing both of these items at the time of his arrest. Dallas Police detectives who will later search Ruth Paine’s home do not list a wedding ring or any kind of ring on their inventory sheets. A wedding ring was not photographed with other items of evidence on the floor of the Dallas Police station, nor was it listed on the joint Dallas Police/FBI inventory of Nov. 26, 1963.) LHO walks one block east from the Paine house and pokes his head into the back door of Linnie Mae Randle’s home, looking for her brother Buell Frazier for a ride to work. Both Randle and Frazier will later agree that they observed LHO place a package in the backseat.

    C-SPAN FIRST LADIES/JACQUELINE KENNEDY May 09, 2014 9:56 a.m. ET (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) JACQUELINE KENNEDY: And I think every first lady should do something in this position to help the things she cares about. I just think that everything in the White House should be the best -- the entertainment that's given here. The art of children is the same the world over. And so, of course, is our feeling for children. I think it is good in a world where there's quite enough to divide people, that we should cherish the language and emotion that unite us all. (END VIDEO CLIP) SUSAN SWAIN: Jacqueline Kennedy's 1,000 days as first lady were defined by images -- political spouse, young mother, fashion icon, advocate for the arts. As television came of age, it was ultimately the tragic images of President Kennedy's assassination and funeral that cemented Jacqueline Kennedy in the public consciousness. Good evening and welcome to C-SPAN's series "First Ladies: Influence and Image.” Tonight, we'll tell you the story of the wife of the 35th president of the United States, named Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. And we have two guests at the table for the next two hours to tell you more about her life story.

  • Oliver Stone's J
    WWhheenn TTrruutthh IIss SSttrraannggeerr TThhaann FFiiccttiioonn… Behind Oliver Stone’s J.F.K. (1991) by Nick Zegarac Disclaimer: For those new to The Hollywood Art, this is not a political series. It is a repository for history and content relating to great motion pictures of the past and present and, on a more personal note, is dedicated to those iconic figures of the silver screen which have brought some special focus and meaning into its’ author’s life. However, the following article involves Oliver Stone’s movie J.F.K (1991), a film and a topic that begs further understanding of the actual events that took place before and after the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963. It is my sincere hope that history will not be quick to judge this article as a further contribution in support of mere conspiracy theories, lone gunman mythologies or even fictionalized urban legends that continues to surround that assassination. What follows then is a retrospective of history itself – some will undoubtedly argue, as clouded through the lens of a propagandist film maker, but that this author would suggest derive far more credence, respect and investigation than history has had the time or interest to make clear to the American public to date. It is in support of deriving clarity from the facts as presented in Oliver Stone’s film and through a sincere investigation of other informational and archival materials made available elsewhere, and with the humble and utmost esteem and reverence extended to the Kennedy family, for what is undoubtedly a far more intimate - rather than national - tragedy, that this article appears.

  • 212 Pl 9-3232/Esquire
    A88 MADISON AVENUE/NEW YORK, N.Y. 10022/TEL: 212 PL 9-3232/ESQUIRE HOLD FOR RELEASE FOR NOVEMBER 15, A.M. NEWSPAPERS POSSIBLE SECOND KENNEDY ASSASSIN APPEARS IN NEWLY DISCOVERED PHOTOGRAPH NEW YORK, November 15 ---- A newly discovered photograph of what may be a man aiming a rifle at President Kennedy's car at the site of the assassination appears to confirm the existence of an assassin now at large. (Please request Photo # N X P 1404338 from United Press International, New York Bureau.) The photograph is printed for the first time in the DeceMber issue of Esquire Magazine published today. It is an enlargement of a frame from an 8-mm. color movie film of the assassination made by Orville Nix, a resident of Dallas. Six frames from the film were published in the Warren Commission's volumes of exhibits but not the frame from which this photograph was made. If the picture is indeed of a man aiming a rifle at the President, it would support the widely-held theory that more than one man was involved in the assassination. The theory of two or more assassins conflicts with the findings of the Warren Commission that the assassination of President Kennedy was the work of one man, Lee Harvey Oswald. The Nix film was found in the UPI film library by an independent investi- gator of the assassination who was particularly interested in one of the frames, because it showed more sharply than any other frame a mysterious object behind the wall on the grassy knoll. When a film specialist enlarged the frame, it became clear that the object was a vehicle, and it appeared that a man was leaning against it and aiming a rifle at the President's car.

    Reasonable Doubt: The single bullet theory Assignment Select one claim that was discussed in the movie, and analyze that claim using Toulmin’s framework. For example: Identify and discuss the strength or correctness of the claim that: 1. Governor Connolly was shot by a second bullet; 2. The mafia shot JFK; 3. Castro was responsible for JFK’s assassination; 4. The CIA arranged for JFK’s assassination; 5. The Pentagon ordered JFK’s execution; 6. Cuban anti-communists arranged for JFK’s death; 7. The Soviet Union’ KGB engineered JFK’s assassination. 8. Select any other claim from the information provided. Identify and explain clearly the parts of the argument, and evaluate the strength of the argument as a whole. You do not need to believe the argument. You are evaluating its strength. Your evaluation should be around two pages long, so select a claim that is not so large as to require a book-length essay to explain. Include a cover page, outline, body, and a works cited page.
