BETWEEN THE LINES

Why Obama needs to stay plugged in

 
Nov. 22, 1963
President John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas. Who exactly was involved in the shooting—and that question's implications for American politics, culture and indeed for subsequent world history—have been debated constantly ever since. There have been innumerable books and articles in support of myriad theories about whether Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy, and if so whether he acted alone or as part of a conspiracy. The U.S. government has conducted four separate investigations and reached a variety of conclusions. Every year people gather in Dealey Plaza in Dallas to commemorate the tragedy; some years the crowds are in the thousands. The floor of the Texas School Book Depository from which Oswald did or did not shoot the president is now a museum to the assassination.
