Thank you David, for all that you have done to make this very sad time in American History living and breathing for those of us too young to understand and those not yet born. 🌿
The gentleman who first addressed the crowd at Trade Mart -- Erik Jonsson 12:00 -- officially became the Mayor of Dallas shortly after JFK's assassination and would hold the office for two terms. Decades earlier, Jonsson was a co-founder of the company that would eventually become known as Texas Instruments. He was also a major factor in the creation of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, which opened in 1973.
Very interesting! Thank you very much for your effort! PS If nothing had happened, all these people would have been as anonymous as all the other people in all other towns JFK had motorcades.
Mr. Jonsson was surely a "friend of LBJ" for sure...And, right on que @ 22:43 the presidential seal comes off the podium & ol' Eddie the announcer pours out, almost chapter & verse, all these details about the "lone~nut assassination" that he knew nothing about just a minute earlier. Oh boy, HOW the "fix was in"!😡😭😭💔💔
It had poured in central Wisconsin, where I grew up. I got this info from my parents, as I was only a year and a half old at the time. Dark, cloudy, rainy--it was a miserable day to be outside.
it did the day before and that morning till around 10am, then the sun came out, yet the C130 which carried the cars had already landed, thus the perspex top should have been put on not matter what due to the rain which fell all morning, so again its the secret service were the people charged with the presidents protection and they know 100% that they were involved and i believe that secret service agent killed is true, which is either a agent who ran up the knoll and tried to catch the shooter and was shoot near the side road of the TSBD BLD elm st side road? Also AIR FORCE ONE Weather information is up to date and you can see film footage of the jfk car and the queen mary follow up car is sitting at Dallas love field with totaly wet road surface, so again its the fault of the SS agents full stop and in fact they stopped the car while the shooting was happening, think about that as well?
I remember asking my father years later what his feelings were that day.....his response, "the only day in my life that I was ashamed to be an American". As young as I was, I understood his meaning. Over the years, I've heard the same from others, he was not alone.
@@Albertanator Yeah, I have never understood when people say that. I'll never forget when michael obama said she was finally proud to be an American. Sickening.
Why would anyone be ashamed to be an American because someone (Oswald) shot JFK? I'm sorry but that's just dumb. Unless you're a conspiracy theorist and think the government or some government agency was behind it which puts you in the majority of Americans unfortunately. Anyway the majority aren't saying they are ashamed to be American.
I saw an interview with Walter Cronkite a few years ago where he credited Eddie Barker as being the first to report that President Kennedy had died. KRLD was the CBS Dallas affiliate and CBS often went to KRLD for updates that day.
The Dallas based guys like Barker and Dan Rather both had sources in the hospital and there were 35 or so minutes between when JFK actually died, and when it was made official. Thus the regular Dallas reporters were told by those sources in the hospital of the death possibly 20-30 minutes before we all found out for sure.
I have been a huge fan of JFK’s for many years now. I was born in 77 so I can’t imagine the pain of that day, and even as young as you were I bet it was very impactful on your life. Like you said, it was the first time you saw your parents crying. That day changed everything in this country, especially in society at large and in the average American home, just like yours.
I couldn’t imagine the confusion, disbelief, fear & pure shock that everyone was feeling there. One minute they’re all having a great time, excited to see/meet the President & the next minute they’re told the President was shot & killed on his way there. 😞
We believe the wounds are "not serious." But a secret service agent was killed and a man and a woman were seen on a ledge of the School Book Depository. In that chaos, it was tough to get clear info out, and to get rumor sorted out from fact.
@John Smith They rushed him to the hospital in the same vehicle he was shot in. The reporter stating that they rushed him to the hospital in a ‘bus’ was just an assumption.
I was in the sixth grade then, I remember the principal announced on the P A that the president had died our teacher started to cry as did some students. We where dismissed from school. When I got home my mom didn’t know what happened yet as she didn’t have the t v on . We turned it on and started watching the news I remember she started crying . Every American then I believe felt close to the first family because they were on tv a lot. Yes a sad day.
First time I heard that Nixon had been in Dallas the day before Kennedy visited! Of all the coverage I have watched, no one else ever mentioned this fact. This reporter did an excellent job.
Whenever I watch this, I notice that KRLD did not have a direct audio feed from the podium microphone (at least not connected). We hear the ambient sound as the speakers at the podium make their statements.
At 20:48 (or 21:48) on the screen you can hear a lady in the background burst shouting “oh no”. before breaking out with sobs. Either she overheard the unconfirmed death report from Barker, the doctor or from a transistor radio. I’ve tuned into this feed many times but this is the first time I heard her. Chills!
@@John-tr6of That's true. His body was alive, but, he was brain-dead. His body without signals from his brain shut down and died at 1pm. There was nothing the doctors could do but they had to try. One doctor said, "We never had any hope of saving his life". President Kennedy was critically injured and morbid which means near death.
Just before 23:00 someone walks up to the podium, points to the presidential seal, and the man disconnecting the microphones just takes it off and hands it to him in a matter of seconds. No questions asked. Hopefully that was a secret service agent or someone with the Presidential party. If that was just someone attending the luncheon, he walked off with one heck of a souvenir!
easy it was on national new broadcasts that day, after the event, yet they had live broadcast set up with most of the national news networks in Dallas, not one National New networks like CBS/NBC/ABC none of them were there, only jr reporters who worked out of the city and were not even in the parade,, wTF, why not the national news networks are not in a parade with the president of the USA yet other parades they are all over the place, hum looks like to me that those networks knew it was going to happen via ll the CIA planted editors and management who made sure they were not set up to do a live feed of jfk for the trip for Dallas and only Dallas?
@@7071t6 It was considered a less important event, not a big deal, just a campaign stop. You're right about the junior reporters - but the natl. networks had several of those on scene; CBS' southern bureau chief Dan Rather, ABC's Bob Clark, NBC's Robert MacNeil (you remember him from MacNeil-Lehrer Report). ALSO, routine for this type event, there WAS a press car with a phone IN THE PARADE. Reporters phoned in to UPI and AP news services, which transmitted via teletype to CBS, NBC, ABC and Mutual. That was a lot of what Walter was reading.
@@7071t6 , it was viewed as what it was, a political trip. It wasn't going to get the kind of coverage Kennedy's speech at American University had gotten the previous June.
yet the trade mart was less than 5 kms away from the airport, ( basically around the corner of the place ) the safest way to the trade mart, why the secret service did not take that route, only they know and plenty of people would be able to see jfk and jackie full stop? Reason its a cross fired and he was not allowed to leave Dallas alive full stop, all arranged by the secret service and the CIA, who is the only org which can do this and get away with it with out any investigation for ever more. :)
@@johnpersechini4951 I think Tippit was still alive 1 o clock, I believe he was killed at about 1-14 pm so that Agent being killed report could not have been a mix up, I dont know how they were given that report, unless some reporter seen Clint Hill lying down on top of Jackie in the car as it was speeding past and maybe he thought Hill had been shot too
President Kennedy was pounced dead at 1 PM (CST) at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, 30 minutes after he was shot at Dealey Plaza in Downtown Dallas and Texas Governor John Connally was survived from his wounds. 11 AM (Pacific), 12 PM (Mountain), 1 PM (Central), 2 PM (Eastern), 3 PM (Atlantic), is the time when President Kennedy was shot. The Dallas Trade Mart in Downtown Dallas is where President Kennedy was supposed to give a luncheon speech. Then, the Dallas Mayor said that President Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally in a motorcade had been shot.
I remember that at the time immediately following the assassination there were theories that Oswald had been out to kill Connally since Connally had been Sec of the Navy before becoming governor of Texas, and he had been the person who had turned down Oswald's request to have his bad discharge from the Marine Corps changed.
I've heard that theory. That's got to very dang silly. Why would an assassin wait to get to the governor when there was 50 times the security, on TV and nationwide interest?
If I remember correctly, William Manchester wrote in his book THE DEATH OF A PRESIDENT that only one person demanded his money back, simply because he had not gotten anything to eat...
Reports of a secret service agent being killed. Reports of a man and a woman seen on a ledge. All these obviously erroneous descriptions coming from the scene show the faultiness of relying on witness reports of 6 shots.
There were many in attendance there that were Catholic and it was a Friday. As Eddie Barker said, dispensation was given by the clergy for all to eat steak on a day of "no meat" back in those days if you were Catholic. I know this is trivial and such, but what did they do with all those steaks they had cooked? Many there must have been 1,000 or so in attendance that day. I do not believe they ever ate...I do see people drinking coffee.
I was 3 years and seven months old. Over the years as I grew older, this event became one of the most interesting subjects I've studied. At 62 years old, my heart still aches for John Fitzgerald Kennedy
TO MR. DAVID VON PEIN : FORGOT ! THANK U FOR RESPONSE! VERY MUCH ! I will get your book ASAP. YOUR WORK, AS BUGLIOSI ,GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE! Where is the PUBLIC ? H L MENCKEN CORRECT ! teddy
If TV stations were there, where is th secret service agents and security for jfk, for when he would arrive at the trade mart, we can see the security at fort worth hotel roof top security, yet nothing at Dallas and the trip for dallas trip secret service protection survey divisions own report was destroyed when the ARRB asked for those records, wHY if its LEE H OSWALD and its 1994 to 1998, think about it people?
Ask Secret Service agent Clint Hill. He was there among many other Secret Service guys. It is his lifelong regret that he couldn't take the bullets for JFK. He wrote a book about it.
You know, I am not saying it was not a conspiracy. I think it was, and I'll go to my grave swearing Oswald was not just some lone nut (nor was the man who killed Lennon). I just think you've got to look at the things that are known to be true and factor those out.
I read somewhere that the meal for that day was said to be: "Broiled Steak, Potatoes, Green Beans, Rolls, and Iced Tea. It was like $100 a plate. However, I'm not sure what they would've had for dessert, though. 🤔 One source claimed it was a slice of apple pie or a few scoops of ice cream served in a glass goblet...
@@oakroyal Yes. There was a special exception made for this meal. Although, I can't imagine the amount of food that ended up being wasted due to the President's assassination. 😳
@@DRIVEIN101 Wow! A very expensive meal to come from way back in 1963. I wonder if any of the guests ever got their money back or they simply lost their asses on it? A very shocking and unexpected turn of events, on the heels of what would have been a joyous and highly-anticipated outting, complete with a hardy lunch and an excellent speech to go along with it. Such a tremendous shame that this event didn't have its own fairytale ending.
Philip Thomas Steak, baked potato, green beans, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, ranch style beans, broccoli, carrots, corn, cauliflower and a side salad.
If Oswald did do it alone,do you think he was smart enough to know what the enormity of his actions would be,that this world would never be the same and that by killing this man he would have everlasting fame whether it be good or bad?
did they show you the president's car no they did not the car was not at Parkland Hospital show me a limousine at Parkland Hospital that has the brace for the bubble top
KRLD-TV, then CBS, became KDFW when it was sold and separated from KRLD radio in 1970. About 1993 KDFW was sold to Fox and KTVT, originally an independent, was bought by CBS.
you really should take a look at Abraham Zapruder when he announced what he saw I'm not going to argue with you argue with yourself and after you argue with yourself you know that I'm telling the truth listen to his secretary you didn't know Abraham Zapruder had a secretary what was her name she told you what really happened she told you that the activity inside of the president's limousine
Set to say that when I saw this assassination there was an explosion inside of the president cinemas in that explosion was said off by secret Service Asian Troy chillin can you see the activity inside of a car at that point in time would a little girl thread dress and the Y top is running that was the beginning of the assassination
our president did not die inside of Parkland Hospital he died in Dealey Plaza right at the Stemmons Freeway sign the sign has bullet holes in it from a double barrel shotgun that was held by somebody inside of the president's limousine
It has been proven there were three men, each of whom wielded shotguns; their names were Moe, Larry and Curly. Groucho, Chico and Harpo were lookouts, and Bud and Lou bamboozled the secret service with "Who's On First?"
People around JFK, of course, knew he was moribund or dying in the car. Parkland got a very little in the way of vital signs from JFK in the hopital with his fatal head wound. It is sobering to watch the people waiting knowing JFK will never come. It was a somber day indeed but one of many in the 1960's. JFK's death pretty much guaranteed the death of 58,000 American troops in Vietnam later on. LBJ lived in fear of being called weak by Republicans on communism. It seems as if America on days like this was at war more with itself than with any communist threat. The 1960's were one big traumatic experience starting with the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of JFK, ending in 1968 with the Tet offensive, the assassinations MLK and RFK. It seems like the 1960's were just one long black funeral train leading to a blackhole of violence, a fractured society, war and broken promises for a better life.
@@Albertanator Go checkout some Barry Goldwater national security speeches on communism or review the Senator Joe McCarthy "UnAmerican Committee" hearings with a communist behind every tree. These right wing hyperbolic speeches and rhetoric against being soft on communism were real concerns in 1963. LBJ was extremely concerned about being called weak on communism. Also, JFK was going to meet with Maxwell Taylor about the situation in South Vietnam that was deteriorating rapidly after the coup that ousted Diem. South Vietnam was in bleak shape in November, 1963. Many provinces in South Vietnam were in the process of falling to the Vietcong. So LBJ had to be concerned about South Vietnam going the way of Nationalist China in 1949. Korea was also a bitter experience too that was less than ten years old at the time. Maybe you need a little more research about LBJ's dilemma with Vietnam and Republicans just salivating to call him "weak on communism" in the 1964 election. Both Republican and Democrat presidents put advisors into South Vietnam to help the French and later to Prop up Diem's corrupt regime. Many of us think had JFK lived the South Vietnam experience would have ended differently. What is hilarious about 58,000 dead American soldiers is beyond me. Unless of course you are a lunatic or psychopath.

Eddie Barker's reporting is remarkably accurate. He is wrong about the "dead" Secret Service agent, but otherwise he got it mostly right.
Amazing footage. Eddie Barker did a tremendous job in spite of all the false reports.

Omg they were waiting for a dead man to arrive. If it was today cellphones would be on fire with this news.

That had to have been stunning news to absorb. Just so awfully gut churning to hear it 60 years later..the whole 🌎 changed that day.
We believe the wounds are "not serious." But a secret service agent was killed and a man and a woman were seen on a ledge of the School Book Depository. In that chaos, it was tough to get clear info out, and to get rumor sorted out from fact.
@John Smith
Back in those days Ambulances were often referred to as buses. It’s slang basically.

It was devastating.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to all that food that went uneaten.
I remember each guest at the luncheon was going to be served a 20 oz steak .
You can hear a woman crying in the background when Barker quotes his source as saying JFK died.
On a lighter note, I learned two words that aren't really used today,: "rhubarb" and "pandemonium."
What, if anything, happened to the hundreds of meals that were never eaten that day?
You can tell once Barker announced his death he was shaken you can hear it in his voice.
I couldn't hear it. A remarkably controlled, professional reporter.
First time I heard that Nixon had been in Dallas the day before Kennedy visited! Of all the coverage I have watched, no one else ever mentioned this fact. This reporter did an excellent job.
Nixon, and the Hunt Brothers too.
Whenever I watch this, I notice that KRLD did not have a direct audio feed from the podium microphone (at least not connected). We hear the ambient sound as the speakers at the podium make their statements.
Not one person checking their I-phones!
This video of KRLD-TV's footage of the events from the Dallas Trade Mart began at 12:55 pm CST, November 22, 1963.

11:00 AM (PST), 12:00 PM (MST), 1:00 PM (CST), 2:00 PM (EST), 3:00 PM (AST), is when President Kennedy died on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
He was pronounced dead at those times - he was killed instantly.
President Kennedy was DOA when he got to Parkland
Still breathing, barely.
Not true, theoretically he was good as dead but he had a pulse and a heartbeat

It would seem as though 19:40 is about when Eddie Barker learned that Kennedy was DOA, which would have put it around 115p. I'm guessing.
This is great reporting under extremely extenuating circumstances
Does anyone knows what they did with all the food they were supposed to serve that day?
It seems to start at 12:57 PM. It can be synced up with ABC and CBS footage from the same time.
I wonder who started the false rumor that a secret service agent was killed?
There was also a report that Johnson had suffered a heart attack
I think the shooting of Tippett was originally confused as being a secret service agent but not sure about the timing since this aired at 1:00pm.

Clint Hill, a Secret Service agent was reported to have said "He's dead" (JFK) when asked about the president. Maybe that got twisted around.
Think of all the plates that went uncleaned that day. There are starving people in China.

and Mike where were you at 12:30 11-22-63 Tillis now tell everybody now where you were
Well what do you expect letting him ride in an open car like that with all those open windows he was just asking for it very stupid
Also wheres the TV camera footage from outside the trade mart ,what classified and why ?
Reports of a secret service agent being killed. Reports of a man and a woman seen on a ledge. All these obviously erroneous descriptions coming from the scene show the faultiness of relying on witness reports of 6 shots.
“The president was whisked away by bus from the scene.”
Ambulances are sometimes referred to as buses. He assumed he went to Parkland in an ambulance, which was incorrect.

As Eddie Barker said, dispensation was given by the clergy for all to eat steak on a day of "no meat" back in those days if you were Catholic. I know this is trivial and such, but what did they do with all those steaks they had cooked? Many there must have been 1,000 or so in attendance that day. I do not believe they ever ate...I do see people drinking coffee.
Probably donated to feed the homeless.
Tickets to that event cost $100 each in 1963 dollars. The Trade Mart made out fine even if they had to throw them allaway.
Huge history. This was very interesting. I was born in 68.
I was 3 years and seven months old. Over the years as I grew older, this event became one of the most interesting subjects I've studied. At 62 years old, my heart still aches for John Fitzgerald Kennedy

3:31 podium announcement 10:46 early shooter report: man and woman on ledge of tall building
I HEARD HE WAS WEARING A BACK BRACE FOR HIS BAD BACK. JUST THINK HE COULD HAVE BENT OVER TO GET OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE.
Yea that pretty much kept him somewhat upright for the fatal shot
this very awesome and dramatic to watch!
22:42, The minute they took down the Presidential seal, you knew that President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was dead.
Lots of interesting tidbits I was unaware of in this reporting. Details that get forgotten in the midst of the horror.
I was not born yet. Truly think my 24 year old future parents lost their innocence. Have many LIFE and LOOK magazines regarding this event.
If TV stations were there, where is th secret service agents and security for jfk, for when he would arrive at the trade mart, we can see the security at fort worth hotel roof top security, yet nothing at Dallas and the trip for dallas trip secret service protection survey divisions own report was destroyed when the ARRB asked for those records, wHY if its LEE H OSWALD and its 1994 to 1998, think about it people?
Ask Secret Service agent Clint Hill. He was there among many other Secret Service guys. It is his lifelong regret that he couldn't take the bullets for JFK. He wrote a book about it.
You know, I am not saying it was not a conspiracy. I think it was, and I'll go to my grave swearing Oswald was not just some lone nut (nor was the man who killed Lennon). I just think you've got to look at the things that are known to be true and factor those out.
I read somewhere that the meal for that day was said to be: "Broiled Steak, Potatoes, Green Beans, Rolls, and Iced Tea. It was like $100 a plate. However, I'm not sure what they would've had for dessert, though. 🤔 One source claimed it was a slice of apple pie or a few scoops of ice cream served in a glass goblet...
Steak for a Catholic President, on a Friday... ??? back in 1963 (I've read the same thing myself.)
The President, and other Catholics in attendance, received dispensation for the meal which was never served. 2500 were present at the Trade Mart.
@@oakroyal Yes. There was a special exception made for this meal. Although, I can't imagine the amount of food that ended up being wasted due to the President's assassination. 😳
I believe $100 was also the cost of the dinner to have been served at Kennedy's appearance at Municipal Auditorium in Austin that evening
@@DRIVEIN101 Wow! A very expensive meal to come from way back in 1963. I wonder if any of the guests ever got their money back or they simply lost their asses on it? A very shocking and unexpected turn of events, on the heels of what would have been a joyous and highly-anticipated outting, complete with a hardy lunch and an excellent speech to go along with it. Such a tremendous shame that this event didn't have its own fairytale ending.
write the article as required by law!
What, exactly, was on that day's luncheon menu?
KFC
Steak
Philip Thomas Steak, baked potato, green beans, cabbage, macaroni and cheese, ranch style beans, broccoli, carrots, corn, cauliflower and a side salad.
Oh boy, #KirkGriffin!!! I'm getting HUNGRY!!!! :)
Besides, #OntarioGuy, KFC neither delivered nor catered in 1963. :)
Is the trademark still around today
🤔
Did you notice all the women wearing the pill box hats like what Jackie wore?
If Oswald did do it alone,do you think he was smart enough to know what the enormity of his actions would be,that this world would never be the same and that by killing this man he would have everlasting fame whether it be good or bad?
He didn’t care
He wasn't involved.

what part of my brain is missing I need for you to answer that question now Mike
This was 2 months before I was born Now I am an old man
take a look at the TRADE MART KRLD RADIO
argue against krld radio at the trademark
The only thing they got right was that they didn't get anything right.
do you now tell me that there is a hospital that will admit that they operated on our president's head and install a metal brace
So, no lunch?
did they show you the president's car no they did not the car was not at Parkland Hospital show me a limousine at Parkland Hospital that has the brace for the bubble top
The presidential limo never arrived at Parkland.
OMG JFK IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KRLD-TV, then CBS, became KDFW when it was sold and separated from KRLD radio in 1970. About 1993 KDFW was sold to Fox and KTVT, originally an independent, was bought by CBS.

you really should take a look at Abraham Zapruder when he announced what he saw I'm not going to argue with you argue with yourself and after you argue with yourself you know that I'm telling the truth listen to his secretary you didn't know Abraham Zapruder had a secretary what was her name she told you what really happened she told you that the activity inside of the president's limousine
Do you have a copy?
Why are you being stupid?

I wonder where are all these people at now?
dead.
You talk about wrong information.
Set to say that when I saw this assassination there was an explosion inside of the president cinemas in that explosion was said off by secret Service Asian Troy chillin can you see the activity inside of a car at that point in time would a little girl thread dress and the Y top is running that was the beginning of the assassination
@@stanleyallen3446 Seek urgent treatment, bubba!
It was covid
our president did not die inside of Parkland Hospital he died in Dealey Plaza right at the Stemmons Freeway sign the sign has bullet holes in it from a double barrel shotgun that was held by somebody inside of the president's limousine
Stanley Allen JFK never made it to Parkland. If you look at the Zapruder film, both Mr and Mrs. Connally were shot, immediately after Kennedy.
Jihyun lee, you are a damned fool.

It has been proven there were three men, each of whom wielded shotguns; their names were Moe, Larry and Curly. Groucho, Chico and Harpo were lookouts, and Bud and Lou bamboozled the secret service with "Who's On First?"

I'll bet he was very dead at this point. He was declared dead as early as 12:47 when the priests came.

People around JFK, of course, knew he was moribund or dying in the car. Parkland got a very little in the way of vital signs from JFK in the hopital with his fatal head wound. It is sobering to watch the people waiting knowing JFK will never come. It was a somber day indeed but one of many in the 1960's. JFK's death pretty much guaranteed the death of 58,000 American troops in Vietnam later on. LBJ lived in fear of being called weak by Republicans on communism. It seems as if America on days like this was at war more with itself than with any communist threat. The 1960's were one big traumatic experience starting with the Cuban missile crisis, the assassination of JFK, ending in 1968 with the Tet offensive, the assassinations MLK and RFK. It seems like the 1960's were just one long black funeral train leading to a blackhole of violence, a fractured society, war and broken promises for a better life.
Yeah...blame LBJ's excursion into Vietnam on the Republicans....yeah that's the ticket....ha ha....hilarious!
The 60s didn't end in 1968. The end of the sixties came with the Tate-LaBianca Murders.
@@mothershelper1981 Others would argue the 60's ended with the infamous Rolling Stones concert in Dec. of 69.
😁
@@Albertanator Go checkout some Barry Goldwater national security speeches on communism or review the Senator Joe McCarthy "UnAmerican Committee" hearings with a communist behind every tree. These right wing hyperbolic speeches and rhetoric against being soft on communism were real concerns in 1963. LBJ was extremely concerned about being called weak on communism. Also, JFK was going to meet with Maxwell Taylor about the situation in South Vietnam that was deteriorating rapidly after the coup that ousted Diem. South Vietnam was in bleak shape in November, 1963. Many provinces in South Vietnam were in the process of falling to the Vietcong. So LBJ had to be concerned about South Vietnam going the way of Nationalist China in 1949. Korea was also a bitter experience too that was less than ten years old at the time. Maybe you need a little more research about LBJ's dilemma with Vietnam and Republicans just salivating to call him "weak on communism" in the 1964 election. Both Republican and Democrat presidents put advisors into South Vietnam to help the French and later to Prop up Diem's corrupt regime. Many of us think had JFK lived the South Vietnam experience would have ended differently. What is hilarious about 58,000 dead American soldiers is beyond me. Unless of course you are a lunatic or psychopath.
Dorothy Kilgallen knew what happened and who was behind it. Ruby told her.
