Bay of Pigs taught JFK a hard lesson. Can't see him letting Vietnam turn into a quagmire, like LBJ did. A lot of young men whose names are on The Wall died with Kennedy. They just didn't know it.

Actually, it was JFK's naïveté and advisors who spiraled Vietnam into an abyss. LBJ inherited it.

Lost on this front page is perhaps the most tragic headline of all: "Johnson Affirms Aims in Vietnam; Retains Kennedy's Policy On Aiding War on Reds...."

It's fascinating and sad..agreed! But still not larger than the murder of the The President and his killer within 48 hours.

Back then, was the press in the habit of claiming someone guilty before a trial? Just wondering why they didn’t call Oswald the “alleged assassin.”

This whole week was sad. We weren't told in school what had happened, but heard bells tolling in town. Schools were closed for funeral and probably every TV in America had the live broadcast on-

The article on the funeral mentions that the President will be buried at Arlington on a “beautiful grassy knoll”. Weird.

Come on, Oswald's murder was to silence a Marine who was taught Russian, traveled as a false defector, married and returned with Russian wife. Oswald was a self-described "Patsy". He never fired a rifle that day, Paraffin test.
