Time, March 22, 1963
Cassius Clay Cassius Clay won the gold medal in the Olympic Games in Rome in 1960 at age 18.
Clay boasted he would be heavyweight champion by the age of 21. Clay turned pro and over the next three years beat most of the top contenders. He often predicted the round in which
he would knock out his opponent.
In early 1963, Clay was rated the number 3 top contender.
"Doug Jones will fall in four!"
Cassius Clay vs. Doug Jones
New York City,
March 1963 or
Jones, on the left, almost knocked Clay down one minute into the
fight. Clay stumbled backwards and fell into the ropes.
It was a close fight. No knockdowns. The fight went the
limit. At the end of ten rounds the fight looked like a draw. Some at ringside thought Jones won. The Associated
Press scored the fight 5-4-1 for Jones. United Press International scored it 6-3-1 for Clay.
Clay was
awarded a unanimous ten-round decision. The two judges scored the fight 5-4-1 for Clay. The referee scored the fight
8-1-1 for Clay. Of course, no one agreed with the referee. The crowd booed the decision and threw debris into the ring.
It
was Clay's toughest fight in his boxing career to date.
Clay was
not in the same class as the champion Sonny Liston. He certainly did not have the punching
power that Liston had.
"Henry Cooper will fall in five!"

Cooper knocked Clay down in the fourth. The bell rang. Clay
got up after three seconds.
Clay cut up Cooper's left eye and the referee
stopped the fight in the fifth round.
Clay won by a TKO. Clay looked better in his fight against Cooper.
Clay was the number two contender, after
Floyd Patterson.
The Champion
Charles 'Sonny' Liston
Sonny Liston won the world heavyweight boxing championship title with a one-round
knockout of Floyd Patterson in 1962. Liston had beat all the contenders before fighting Patterson. There was nobody left to
fight. An up and coming fighter, Cassius Clay, was not quite ready.

Liston's
contract with Patterson included a mandatory rematch clause if Patterson lost. So, there was a rematch.

Las Vegas, July 22, 1963
The rematch picked up where the first fight left off.
Liston knocked Patterson down less than a minute into the fight.
Patterson got up. Liston knocked him down twice more. Patterson was counted out in 2 minutes and ten seconds of the first
round.
or
Clay climbed into the ring after
the fight and boasted: "Liston
will fall in eight!"
Before the Liston-Patterson
rematch, Clay was the number two contender. After Liston's
repeat one-round knockout of Patterson in 1963, Clay was the top contender.

The Beatles
They came from England. There were four

The darling of the group was Ringo, the drummer. Everyone knew Ringo Starr.
They were from the big port
city of Liverpool in the west of England.
1962 - 1963
The creator of the group and its leader
was John Lennon (1940 - 1980). Paul McCartney, born in 1942, became its leader in 1967. George Harrison (1943 - 2001) was
the third guitarist. The three sang and played together since the mid to late-1950s. Ringo Starr, born in 1940, joined
the group as its drummer in late 1962. They remained together to 1970.
They were known mostly for their haircuts, or
hairstyle, which became popular the world over, called the Beatle haircut. Kids said they wore Beatle haircuts to
be non-conformist and 'different'.
They were also known for punctuating their songs on stage with the wild shaking of their heads quickly from
side to side as they sang 'Ewwwwhhhh', which made the girls scream.

The assassination was captured in 26 seconds of movie film by a local
Dallas garment manufacturer and amateur film maker, Abraham Zapruder.

Zapruder and his assistant,
Marilyn
Sitzman, stood atop a white stone
wall
to the rigjt of the motorcade
as it passed before them.
There
was a loud sound, like a firecracker or car backfire or a gun shot, from above and behind the presidential motorcade.

first time, in the upper back.
Abraham Zapruder
and an assistant, Marilyn Sitzman, are seen in the
distance, to the right of the road sign, standing atop
a white wall.
There was a second loud noise, like a gunshot, and the president's
arms, with the elbows bent and out, drew up to his chin, his clutched fists together at the throat.
The governor reacted at the same moment with a sudden
violent upward motion of the forearms.

the president's head.
The next moment, part of the president's right upper skull was torn off.

------------
Most people at the scene recalled hearing three shots.
Some thought there were
four shots.
The shots were fired within
six to eight seconds.
Most people believed the
shots came from above and behind the presidential motorcade.
Some witnesses saw and heard
three shots fired at the motorcade from a far corner window of the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building.
It
was generally believed that the first shot missed the presidential limousine.
If
the first shot missed, it was the second shot that hit the president - in the upper back, just below
the neck.
The
second shot hit the governor of Texas, who was sitting in front of the president. The
shot struck the governor in the right side of the back, exited his chest, went through his right
wrist and entered his left thigh.
It was possible that the first shot missed the limousine and the second
shot hit both the president and the governor.
The last shot
- the third bullet - tore off the top front quarter of the president's head
and was fatal.
Some recalled that the first shot hit the president just below
the neck and the second shot hit him in the head, and then a third shot was fired, after the fatal shot, and was wild.
One of the bullets ricocheted off the paved street surface
and a small piece of concrete cut the cheek of a bystander standing under the
overpass in front of the motorcade.
Later,
in reviewing the Zapruder film, some decided that the first bullet missed the presidential limousine and the second
bullet went through both the president and the governor.
It was claimed that a complete
bullet was recovered from a stretcher said to have carried the governor at the hospital later.
One of the bullets or bullet fragments
made a hole in the windshield of the presidential limousine.

The
Grassy Knoll
The
White Retaining Wall and the Picket
Fence
The grassy knoll moments
after the assasination.
Some witnesses
saw or heard more than one shot fired from the grassy knoll.
Some
witnesses saw or heard a shot fired from behind a picket fence that was above the white retaining wall at the top of the grassy
knoll and to the right of the presidential motorcade.
Many
believed the fatal shot - a third (or last) shot - was fired from the president's right and from behind
the picket fence.
Some thought that the shot or shots heard on the grassy
knoll could have been echoes of shots fired from above and behind the president.
The Picket
Fence
The above photos were taken
from a vantage point behind the picket fence.
The
above photo was taken by Mary Ann Moorman with a Polaroid camera from the left of the presidential motorcade at the moment
President Kennedy was hit in the head.
The shot tore off the top front right quarter
of the skull. This shot was generally believed to be the third and last shot fired at the motorcade. Beyond the motorcade, on the opposite side
of the street, is the grassy knoll with the white retaining wall. The picket fence is atop the knoll behind the wall.
From the 1960s to the 1980s photography and accoustics experts suggested there could have
been three gunmen hiding at separate points behind the picket fence and appeared in the Moorman photo.

The
Grassy Knoll
The White Retaining Wall
In the Willis photo, a dark area, or a dark object, indicated
by the red arrow, appears behind the corner of the white retaining wall on the grassy
knoll to the left of the road sign.
The dark area appears in several photographs taken at the same moment,
including the above photo by Hugh Betzner. The area is circled in red.
Over the years, many have imagined in this dark area a human figure
- an assassin - poised to shoot.
This dark shape was dubbed the "Black Dog Man" because it
resembles the profile of a black dog sitting atop the wall.
However, most believe this was
just a dark shaded area. If a human figure, it could only be a woman with an infant child in shadow.
Abraham Zapruder and his assistant, Marilyn Sitzman, are standing atop a white wall in the distance, to the
right of the road sign in the photo.
The above photo,
a frame from a home movie taken a
minute or so after the assassination, is of the area immediately behind the white rataining wall on the grassy knoll where the "Black Dog Man" appears
in several photos taken seconds before the assassination.
Abraham Zapruder's assistant, Marilyn Sitzman, later recalled that
in the same area, behind the white retaining wall, shortly before the assassination, there were only a black couple.
The
young black couple, with an infant child, appear in the left half of above photo or movie frame.
At
the moment of the assassination the woman and child were behind the retaining wall and the man was on the steps between the
retaining wall and the street.
The above photo is a frame
from a home movie taken by Orville Nix, just before the wounded president was fatally shot in the head.
Standing
in the foreground on the left are Mary Ann Moorman (in dark coat) and Jean Hill (in light red or dark pink coat). On
the right is a woman later identified as Beverly Oliver (in beige or light grey coat).
Three men are
standing on the steps of the walkway on the opposite side of the street. The man in the white cap is the city groundskeeper.
The black man beside him appears in the later film taken behind the retaining wall, with the black woman and child.
The above photo is a
later frame from the same home movie taken by Orville Nix, a moment after the president was fatally shot
in the head.
Two of the three men standing
on the steps on the opposite side of the street are reacting to the fatal
shot.
Standing in the foreground are Mary Ann Moorman and Jean Hill.
The man in a dark suit, running from the
Secret Service escort car to the presidential limousine, is Clint Hill, the secret service agent assigned to protect Mrs.
Kennedy.
In the above photo, taken a moment after the president was struck in the
head by the fatal shot, the black man, reacting to the shots, is about to run up the steps to the retaining
wall.
The black woman,
dressed in light clothing, and the child she is holding in her arms, dressed in white, were the only people behind
the rataining wall at the time of the assassination.
In close-ups of
the Willis slide and other photos, some have seen the dark area as the woman and a smaller white area or object
beside her as the child she is carrying. That is probably correct.
In the Orville Nix movie, the three men on
the steps are seen running up the steps to get out of the way of the shooting. (In
general, people do not run into the direction of fire.)
--------------
The Three Tramps
Who were the three "tramps"
arrested in a boxcar in the railroad yard behind the grassy knoll shortly after the assassination?
According to Dallas police
records, they were, left to right, Harold ("Frenchy") Doyle, John F. Gedney and Gus W. Abrams - indeed
tramps and released four days later. Many years later, some journalists claimed to have tracked them down.

2. Harold Doyle, one
of the Three Tramps arrested on the day of the JFK assassination
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQLmpdaY2NA
There has been speculation
to this day that the tramps actually were, left to right, Charles Frederick Rogers (aka Montoya), formerly a Shell Oil
Co. seismologist and then a CIA agent; Charles Voyde Harrelson, a hired hitman with mafia contacts; and Chauncey Marvin
Holt, a CIA operative with mafia contacts.
Rogers disappeared shortly
after the police found the decapitated parts of the bodies of his elderly parents wrapped in plastic bags in a refrigerator
in their home in Houston, Texas in 1965.
Harrelson once claimed to
have shot JFK. Later, he retracted the claim. He maintained that he was not one of the three tramps or an assassin. He
claimed that he was in a Dallas restaurant with a friend at the time of the assassination. He died in prison in 2007
while serving a life sentence for the murder of a federal judge in Texas in 1979.

Many years later, Holt claimed
that he was indeed one of the "tramps" (the third fiigure, on the right). He claimed that he brought phony secret service
badges to Dallas for distribution on the morning of the assassination. He recalled meeting many old acquaintances in
the Texas School Book Depository Building parking lot. He said he met Harrelson and the man called Montoya there too.
He was in the parking lot at the time of the assassination and, as instructed, hid in the boxcar with Harrelson and Montoya
afterward. He realized then that they had been set up as fall-guys.

persons found by the police on the grassy knoll just after the shooting who claimed to be secret servicemen. Years later, Hunt said he was in Dallas on the day of the assassination.

J. D. Tippet (1924 - 1963)
About an hour after the assassination of Kennedy, a Dallas policeman, J. D. Tippet,
was
shot and killed in Oak Cliff, a suburb of Dallas.
Tippet was on duty and cruising alone through the neighborhood. He saw a man
walking on the sidewalk. He pulled over to the curb and stopped. He called to the man. The man stopped and came to the front
passenger window. Tippet spoke with the man. According to some witnesses, they spoke for several seconds. According to other
witnesses, they spoke for one minute or more.
The policeman got out of the squad car. As he headed toward the front of the
car, to go around it, he reached for his gun. The other man pulled a handgun from a jacket pocket and shot Tippet three
times. Tippet fell to the ground, his gun in his hand. The other man walked over to him
and shot him a fourth time, the fatal shot.
The autopsy report from Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas mentions four
bullet wounds - three to the chest and one to the head.
Autopsy photos show three bullet holes in the chest.

The
Suspect
The Arrest
in the Movie Theatre
Shortly afterward, police arrested a man in a nearby movie theatre.
The arrested man,
in the centre, is hustled out of the theatre to a police car by lawmen.
In the above photo, the man, in white t-shirt, is pushed by lawmen into
the back seat of a squad car in front of the movie theatre. A large crowd has
gathered.
What led to the arrest?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkHBup0UKpM
The man seemed agitated and entered the
movie theatre without paying. So an employee called the police.
The man was armed with a handgun and fought with a lawman in the movie theatre.

Hours later, he was charged with the murder of Officer Tippet.
The arrested man lived in a rented room in a house not far from the site of the shooting of Officer Tippet.
Who was he?
Lee Harvey Oswald. Age 24. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, 1939. He grew up in New Orleans in Louisiana and
in Dallas and Fort Worth in Texas. He lived in New York City for two years in his early teens.
Oswald was a marine for three years, with a confidential security clearance, from 1956 to
1959.
Oswald was a good marksman.
After discharge
from the marines, Oswald went to the Soviet Union, in 1959.

infant daughter. They
resettled in Texas, in the cities of Fort Worth and Dallas. The family lived in New Orleans, Louisiana for several months in mid-1963 before returning
to Dallas. A second child, a daughter, was born in October 1963.
Oswald said he was
a Marxist-socialist and against American intervention in Cuba.

It was not mentioned at the
time but Oswald's first name, Lee, came from a distant cousin, the commander of Confederate armies in the Civil War, General Robert Edward Lee (Robert E. Lee). Oswald's father was Robert Edward Lee Oswald, Sr. (He died just before Oswald's
birth.) Lee Harvey Oswald's older brother, Robert Edward Lee Oswald, Jr., had also been a marine.

The rifles and bullet shells found in the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD)
It was reported that lawmen found at least four rifles in the TSBD shortly after the assassination.
Two of the rifles belonged to the building manager and were for his private recreational
use.
Lawmen were filmed on the roof holding up a rifle.
Lawmen searching the sixth floor found a 7.65 Mauser, brought it to their office,
and made official reports of their find.
Lawmen were filmed with two rifles on the sixth floor.
Lawmen reported finding three bullet shells beside the sixth-floor window from
which shots had been fired.
The three bullet shells were identified as having been ejected
from a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.
Some time later, an employee at the Parkland Hospital in Dallas found an almost complete bullet on the stretcher that was said to have carried Governor Connally. The bullet was later identified
as having been fired from a 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano.
Later, the local FBI office claimed the rifle used in the assassination was a Mannlicher-Carcano,
that it belonged to the suspect, Oswald, and that he had ordered it through the post.
In the Dallas
police headquarters, a Dallas policeman holds up Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, found in the Texas School Book
Depository Building, at 1:35 a. m. on 23 November.

The Coventry Evening Herald, November 23, 1963 (Coventry,
England)
-------------------
How many bullets hit the president and where exactly?
How does one account for the following:
- at least two bullet
holes - and perhaps as many as three or four bullet holes - in the back
of the president;
- two bullet holes
in the front of the president;
- five bullet holes
in the governor;
- a nick in a by-stander
and a scrape on the paved surface of the nearby street;
- a hole in the
limousine's windshield?
Were they all caused
by three bullets fired from one rifle in the TSBD? Many believed that this was the most likely possibility. But
some doubted it.
Many thought that
one bullet missed the limousine and that of the two bullets to hit Kennedy the first one went through him and wounded
Connally.
Doctors
examined the body and performed a short autopsy in Parkland Hospital
Kennedy as he appeared
in Parkland Hospital after doctors examined him.
Some of the photos and sketches
of Kennedy's corpse
in the operating room of Parkland in Dallas, Texas and later at the autopsy at the
naval hospital in Bethesda, Maryland do not match.
Depending on the photo or sketch, Kennedy was shot either two or three times.
Considering all the sketches, diagrams and photos, there could be at least two and as many as four
different points of bullet entry from behind. There could be two points of bullet entry or exit in front.
The single bullet
wound in the back appears in different spots in different photos and sketches. In some photos
it appears just below the base of the neck. In some sketches it appears lower down the back. In others, to the right of the
base of the neck. In another, over the right shoulder blade.
According to most photos and sketches, Kennedy was shot twice - once in the back of the lower neck and once in the back of the head.
In other photos, it appears that Kennedy was shot once in the right shoulder blade and once in the back
of the head.
In some photos Kennedy appears to have been shot three times - twice in the right shoulder blade and once in the back of the head. These photos show two bullet holes in the right upper back, several inches apart. One hole is larger
than the other. (Some experts maintained that the larger hole could not have been made by a bullet fired from a
Mannlicher-Carcano.)
According to the above sketch, Kennedy was struck at the base of the neck with a bullet and it exited his throat.
The bullet hole in the upper back, below the neck, described as the entrance wound.
The small hole in the throat when Kennedy was brought into the hospital.
The origin of this hole was the source of much controversy. Was it made by
a bullet or bullet fragment? Was it an exit wound, indicating a shot from behind, entering in the upper back or lower neck?
Or was it an entrance wound, indicating a shot from the front?
Or was the hole a tracheotomy, made by a doctor, to ease breathing?
Was the tracheotomy enlarged later? Was it made over
a bullet hole in the throat and enlarged? In the photo, the massive head wound is in dark shadow or has been covered.

If Kennedy was shot in the upper back, just below the neck, or anywhere in the upper back,
and if this small hole in the throat was actually a tracheotomy, where then was the bullet exit wound? Is the bullet
still in the body?
The hole in the back of the head, caused by the last shot, was described as the bullet entrance
wound.
The massive damage to the upper right front quarter of the skull was described as the bullet exit wound.
According to the
above photo, Kennedy was hit in the top part of the back of the skull and the bullet sliced off a large part of the top right
side of the skull.
There were
different reports of the hole caused by the bullet's entry in the back of the head.
The
above sketch on the left shows a large hole in the lower right side of the back of the head as recalled by those present at
Parkland Hospital.
The
sketch at center shows a much larger hole in the lower and upper right side of the back and right side of the skull as recalled
by those present at Bethesda later.
The
photo on the right is of the reconstructed head with a small bullet hole toward the center top of the back of the skull.
Accounts of the wound at the back of the head differ. One photo shows a small hole in the back of the
head on the right side. But those present in Parkland recall that this was a reconstruction, to demonstrate the bullet's point
of entry. They recall a large wound, the size of the palm of a hand, in the back of the head on the right
side, when Kennedy was brought in. Those in Bethesda later recall a much larger wound to the back of the head.
Four different versions of the bullet entry wound at the back of the head. The first and third
sketches, from the left, would be correct.
There were other questions.
Only a few bullet fragments were recovered. It was thought that a bullet or bullet fragments could have remained lodged in
the president's body.

was present in the operating room of Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas and later in the autopsy room in the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
According
to later reports, the president's brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, feared the brain would be put on public display.
He asked Burkley to remove the brain before the autopsy, which was conducted at the naval hospital, and to
give it to him.

Ballistic
and Photographic Evidence
Three shots were fired within 6 to 8.2 seconds.
Dan Rather describes the Zapruder film. Commentary with the film:Without
film:
Many believed that the first shot was around frame # 160 of the Zapruder film. If so, this shot missed the presidential
limousine: Kennedy is seen waving twice to the crowd in subsequent frames, before passing behind the road sign.
Zapruder film frame 161 or 162
The Last Wave
Below is the Zapruder
film - from frame # 160, when many believed the first shot was fired, to frame # 274.
The
president waves to his right, after frame # 160, before passing behind the road sign. This footage includes frames 222, 223 or 224, when the president reacts to
the first shot to hit him.
Note that this early
copy of the Zapruder film is missing six frames, # 207 to # 212, when Kennedy is behind the road sign. Frames # 207and
# 212 are spliced.
Many copies
are missing these frames. This copy of the film was tampered with within hours of processing.
This caused many people to complain that a crucial section of the
film, showing the first shot to hit the president, was edited out to make it appear that he was hit later, at the same time
as the governor, in frame 222 or 223 or 224.
See
the entire film above, frame by frame, one frame per second, This is the spliced version, same as above,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubW7KB4E--4
Initially,
after reviewing the film, it was believed that Kennedy was first shot before the limousine passed behind the street sign in
the Zapruder film.
Eventually,
it was decided that Kennedy was first hit between frames 190 and 200 - just before passing out of view behind
the street sign.
Below are frames 190, 200 and 207 of the Zapruder
film.
Frame
190 (below)
Frame
200
Frame 207
Later, many decided that the first shot could have been fired at frame # 186 of the Zapruder film. This shot
missed.
Frame # 186 (below)
Were Kennedy and Connally hit by the same bullet?
It was
determined that Connally was hit by the second shot, in frame 222 or 223 or 224, just as he passed into view from behind the
street sign.
If Kennedy
was hit before the road sign or when behind it, he and Connally were hit by two separate shots less than two seconds apart.
This would indicate two assassins.
It was decided eventually that the second shot - at frame # 222, 223 or 224 -
hit both Kennedy and Connally.
Reviewing the Zapruder film, a presidential commission appointed by President Johnson to investigate the assassination
- the Warren Commission - concluded that Kennedy and Connally were hit at the same time, by the same bullet, in frame 222 or 223.
The third shot, the fatal head shot, was at frame # 312 or 313.

The above sketch shows all the bullet holes in Kennedy and Connally, front and
back.
The above sketch assumes that two bullets hit and one missed.
The bullet holes indicated in red and marked
# 1 were believed to have been caused by a single bullet, either from the first or second shot. Otherwise, the holes
were caused by two bullets, from the first and second shots, with the first bullet hitting Kennedy and the second bullet
hitting Connally.
The bullet holes indicated in blue and marked # 2
were believed to have been caused by one single bullet, from the third shot.
Most of the people in Dealey Plaza recalled hearing three shots. Many thought
the first shot hit Kennedy in the upper back, the second shot hit Connally in the upper back, and the third shot hit
Kennedy in the head.
David Belin, an advisor to the presidential commission that later investigated the assassination, proposed that one
bullet - from the first shot - hit both Kennedy and Connally.
Many complained
that a bullet could not zig-zag as Bellin seemed to indicate.
But bullets
do bounce.
The proposed straight
path of the bullet and the positions of Kennedy and Connally as the bullet went through them.
Later, reviewing the Zapruder film, many decided that
indeed the first shot missed the limousine and the second bullet hit Kennedy, went through him and hit Connally.

The Bullet
Only small bullet
fragments were recovered from the bodies of the president, the governor, the limousine and the street. A fragment
remained lodged in the governor's body for the rest of his life.
A whole bullet,
with a single dent, at the bottom, was found
on the stretcher of Connally in Parkland Hospital.

One of the three
shells said to have been found in the TSBD after
the assassination.
The above bullet,
without its shell and with a single dent at the bottom, is of the type fired from a Mannlicher-Carcano.
It was claimed that it was found
on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital.
It is said
to have hit Kennedy in the upper back, exited his throat, hit Connally in the back, exited his chest, passed through his right
wrist and lodged in his left thigh.
Many did not believe
it possible. They suspected the bullet was planted to cover up the actual weapon - another type
of rifle.

Was Kennedy shot from the
front right side by a second assassin?
Some point out the massive
damage to the front right side of the president's head and maintain the shot came from the right side - the grassy
knoll.
Frames 309 to 325 (below):
In slow motion (below):
They point out that the Zapruder
film shows that the fatal shot hit the president in the front right side of the head, indicating a shot from the front, instead
of the back of the head from above and behind.
They point out that the president was thrown back by the force of the shot.
But others maintain that the bullet struck the president in the back of the head and the damage to the front
of the head was caused by the bullet's exit.
They maintain that the film shows the exit wound, not the bullet entry or impact.
They point out that often a person shot in the back recoils.
Frames 312 and 313
Some point out that
Kennedy's head pitched forward, as in frame # 312 of the Zapruder film, indicating the moment of bullet impact from behind,
before he recoiled. Frame # 313 shows the bullet exit, not the bullet impact.

Rather
Excerpts
from 1994 CBS documentary with Dan Rather and author Gerald Posner
Posner
believes that Oswald, on the sixth floor of the TSBD, was a lone assassin; he fired three shots: the first shot missed; the
second shot hit Kennedy in the upper back, below the neck, went through him and hit Connally; and the third shot hit Kennedy
in the back of the head.

Jacob Leon Rubinstein (Jack Ruby) (1911 - 1967), local Dallas strip-tease club
owner. He ran errands for Al Capone in Chicago in his teens. He was said to have been a mafia hit-man in his late twenties.
Ruby spent the rest of his life in jail. In March 1964, Ruby was
convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to death. A Texas appeals court
overturned the conviction over procedural issues and ordered a retrial. Ruby died from cancer in Parkland Hospital in Dallas in 1967 before the new trial
began.
Did Ruby plot to
kill Oswald?
Or did Ruby
act on an irresistible impulse, finding himself by chance in an opportune spot at an opportune moment?
Many
wondered if the policeman Tippet had been sent to
kill and silence Oswald and when that failed Ruby did the job.

----------------
Why was Kennedy assassinated?
The assassination was not a surprise to many people.
Many wanted JFK dead.
Protestants above all. Kennedy was the first Catholic president of the
US in history and many feared this spelled the country's doom.
Supporters of Vice-President Lyndon
B. Johnson, especially Texans, wanted Johnson, a Texan, to be president.
Many people did not like Kennedy’s father, Joseph P. Kennedy, a notorious
Irish anti-British appeaser of Hitler before and during WW2. It was said that the president spent more time on the
phone with his father than he did with anyone else.
Cuban leader Fidel Castro? Kennedy backed plans to assassinate him.
Anti-Castro Cuban exiles felt Kennedy betrayed them at the Bay of Pigs in 1961. When their invasion of Cuba floundered, Kennedy
refused air support and abandoned the operation.
The
Soviets? Was Krushchev concerned about claims that Kennedy had won a public relations victory in the 1962 Cuban missile crisis?
Anti-Communists and American military leaders considered Kennedy weak-kneed and soft on Communism. The CIA feared Kennedy planned to curtail its role
in South Vietnam. Many held him responsible
for the killing of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem three weeks
earlier.
Mafia bosses Sam Giancana, Carlos Marcello, Santos Trafficante and John Roselli?
Marcello had been deported from the U. S. by the Kennedys.
Giancana felt he had been double-crossed by Kennedy after delivering to
him a big Chicago vote fraud in the 1960 presidential elections. This particular vote fraud is believed to have
tipped the national popular vote to Kennedy. It would have been exposed if Kennedy's rival, the vice-president
and Republican Party candidate, Richard Nixon, demanded a recount. Nixon did not bother because he believed
he had lost the electoral vote, and even if he won the popular vote in the recount, it would not have changed the electoral
vote, which determines national elections in the U. S. Once in office, Kennedy went after Giancana.
Labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa's Teamster's Union usually voted
for Democrats. But under Hoffa's instructions, the Teamsters delivered the state of Ohio to the Republicans in the 1960 presidential
election and Kennedy, a Democrat, wanted Hoffa out of the way during the upcoming 1964 presidential elections.
-----------------
Was Oswald an assassin? If so, did he shoot the president?
Did he act alone? Were there more assassins?
Two or three? A dozen or more?
What was the motive?
Was Lee
Harvey Oswald a Soviet agent? Was he a CIA agent? Was he a double-agent?
For years, there
were stories that Oswald, while with the U. S. Marine Corps in Japan in the late 1950s, passed secret information
to the Soviets.
Was
there a Soviet-Cuban connection in the assasination?
There were reports that Oswald visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico City in late September 1963. There were reports also that at the Soviet Embassy
Oswald met the KGB agent in charge of assassinations and sabotage in the western hemisphere. Some have wondered if the
meeting was linked to the assassination of Kennedy in Dallas seven
to eight weeks later.
Was John Connally, governor of Texas, shot unintentionally? Or did the assassin intend to shoot Connally, too? Was Connally the
initial target instead of Kennedy?
Oswald was discharged early from the U. S. Marine Corps to take care of his ailing mother. Officially, Oswald left the marines in 1960 with a "hardship discharge" because his mother
was suffering hardship. But for renouncing his American citizenship and going to the Soviet Union instead, Oswald's "hardship
discharge" was changed to a "dishonorable discharge" one year later, in 1961. Connally, who was Secretary of the Navy at the
time, signed the "dishonorable discharge".
(The marines are a service of the navy.) The "dishonorable discharge"
was later officially "reduced" to an "undesirable discharge". Oswald corresponded with the navy
in an effort to change the "undesirable discharge".
Was Oswald's target actually Connally?
If so,
at what point did Oswald decide to shoot Kennedy too?
Or was Oswald a fall-guy? Was he set up? Was he framed? If so, who framed him?

In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded
that there was no evidence of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy.
Oswald fired three shots from the
sixth floor of the TSBD. There were no shots from anywhere else.
The first possible opportunity to
shoot at the presidential limousine was at frame # 186 of the Zapruder film.
The first shot was between frame
# 210 and # 225 of the Zapruder film and wounded both Kennedy and Connally. There were two more shots. One of the shots, either
the second or third, at frame # 313 of the Zapruder film, killed Kennedy. The other shot, either the second or third, missed.
Oswald also killed Tippet.
Oswald acted alone.
Ruby acted alone
in shooting Oswald.

The new president, Lyndon B. Johnson, and the FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover,
did not want the assassination to appear to have been a conspiracy. They were concerned also that implicating the Soviets
or Cubans could lead to nuclear war.
They believed they had to ensure that an investigation of the assassination concluded
that there had been a lone assassin without connections and that the assassin's killer had
acted alone too.
The Warren Commission would have to conclude the same.

JFK: The Case for Conspiracy
1993 documentary by photographer Robert Groden
This film considers at length the various and conflicting
photos and sketches of Kennedy from the emergency room in Dallas, Texas and the autopsy performed in Bethesda, Maryland.
The film considers the possibilities that there were
five gunmen; that shots were fired from several different directions; that three shooters were on the grassy knoll; that
two men were seen on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building just before the shooting and again later, just
after the shooting, when
Oswald was on the second floor.
(Note:Some claims in this documentary film have been discounted since
its release.
For example, the black man some saw with Oswald on the sixth floor before
the shooting was a co-worker. He recalled that he saw Oswald by the corner window with book orders in one hand. The co-worker
then left the floor.
The image of a particular small white object, surrounded by many similar objects, which appears in the
Zapruder film is described as the
back of the head of a possible assassin
on the grassy knoll dubbed the "Black Dog Man". The image, however, is actually that of a tree flower. If it indicates a person, it is the white headscarf of a woman standing behind
the retaining wall. Or it is the white cap worn by
the local groundskeeper standing on the steps of the walkway that lead down to the sidewalk from the grassy knoll.)

Kennedy
rated worst president
Until Kennedy
came along, Warren Harding (1921 - 1923) was generally considered the worst American president in history.
Many Catholics,
especially in the U. S., Ireland, the Mediterranean, Latin America, the Philippines
and Micronesia, revered Kennedy
and maintained that he was the best American
president.
By the late
1970s and early 1980s, however, many
expressed second thoughts about Kennedy.
They wondered if they had over-rated him and if he was indeed a rather mediocre
president.
Many believe
Kennedy, elected president at age 43, was too young for the job.
----------
Was there a lesson to be learned in this?
Perhaps there was.
Never take a Texan as your number-two man.
Don’t
bother to run for high national office if you’re a Catholic. And if you win, count your days.

Fight poster
Liston exercising

The fighters compared.
Note that the photo of Liston is reversed. Liston and Clay were
right-handed and led with the left.
There was some question
about Liston's age. According to boxing records, Liston was born in
1934 and age 29 or 30 at fight time. Most, including Liston, agreed that he was
born in 1932 and age 31 or 32 at fight time. Still, by other accounts, Liston
was born in 1928 or earlier. But the most accurate date of birth,
suggested by the 1930 and 1940 census reports, seems to be the latter part of 1930. Liston does not appear in the 1930 census. But Liston
is registered in the 1940 census as age 10. Liston was 33 or 34 at the time of his fight with Clay. Age 33 is most
likely.
Clay was an 8 - 1 underdog at fight time. Sports writers were almost unanimous
in picking Liston to win. The question was how long would Clay last. Two rounds? Three rounds?
What then of Clay's boxing career? Three-and-one half years of expensive backing, self-promotion and boasting
brought to an ignominious end.
Clay would have to wait until Liston retired to try again for the title.

Liston fails to come out for round 7
The first five rounds were
fought at a fast pace. Liston pressed the fight.
Clay outboxed Liston in the first round.
Liston took a close second
round.
Clay cut Liston
below the left eye early in the third round, wobbled him, battered him, but tired by mid-round.
Liston hurt Clay and knocked him about for the rest of the round but could not put him away.
It was a close round. But Liston
looked the better.
Liston had a slight edge in the fourth round. A puffiness appeared below his right eye.
Something got into Clay's
eyes in the fourth round and he came out for the fifth round complaining that he could not see. Liston had Clay in trouble,
knocked him about the ring but could not catch him. The round was clearly Liston's.
Liston seemed tired when he came out for the
sixth round. He did not press the fight as he had in the previous rounds. Clay took the fight to Liston. Clay had the
edge in the sixth round and looked in better shape than Liston.
The
fight was fought under the rules of the Miami Beach City Boxing Commission. The fight
was scored by the ten-point-must scoring system. The winner of the round gets ten points. The loser gets nine points or less. How the two judges and the referee scored the fight:

referee scored the fight even at the end of six rounds. One judge had Liston ahead, the other judge had Clay ahead, and the
referee scored the fight even.
UPI and AP unofficial scorecards: 58 - 56 for Clay. The fight was scheduled for 15 rounds.
Liston did
not come out for the seventh round. He remained seated on his stool.
The cut and bruises about the
eyes could have compelled the corner men to stop the fight. Liston, however, claimed a dislocated left shoulder and his doctors provided x-rays,
taken at a local hospital immediately after the fight, to prove it. Clay won the fight by a technical knockout (TKO) in seven rounds.
Clay won the championship title
at age 22 - not quite the youngest in history - but he made good his boast
to win it.

The fight was an upset.
Few had expected Clay to win.
The question was how long
would Clay last? Few thought he could last three rounds.
It was noted that Liston did not train hard for the fight. When he had Clay in
serious trouble he failed to nail him. He seemed to
have tired by the sixth round. He did not come out for the seventh round. The fight was even at that point.
Perhaps Liston feared getting beat and spoiling the gate of a rematch.

Interview
Milwaukee Sentinel,
February 26, 1964
Many wondered if Liston threw the fight. If he did, he deserved an Academy Award.
Many wondered if Clay's Louisville backers or the Black Muslims or the Mafia had paid off Liston.
Some believed Liston's shoulder injury was faked. The Miami Boxing Commission held up Liston's $1.3 million-plus
purse after the fight.
However, on the following day, doctors examined hospital x-rays of Liston's shoulder
and announced the injury was real. Liston received his purse.
There was also a question
of a $50,000 payment from Liston to Clay before the fight to guaranty a rematch.

was in fact Norman. His parents were from Normandy. Henry II was an Angevin, of French origin. He was made Duke of Normandy
by the King of France. His mother, Matilda, was a granddaughter
of William the Conqueror.

The Rematch with Liston
The biggest scandal
in boxing history
1965
There had to be a rematch. Liston was again the betting favorite.
But long before
the fight was held, it was obvious that Liston planned to take a dive. Indeed, had he thrown the first fight? No state wanted
to host the rematch.
The
fight was eventually held in an out-of-the-way place - a high school gymnasium in a small town in
New England before a tiny crowd of 2,000.
As
expected, Liston threw the fight. He did it quickly.
Less
than two minutes into the first round he took a light tap to the left side of the head and went down.
Sportswriters
called it "The Phantom Punch".
Video photo of the 'Phantom Punch' in slow-motion: a short right chop (or
uppercut) over Liston's left arm to the head.
Did the punch
have the force to knock Liston down?
Ali: "Get up and fight, ya bum!"
The referee, ex-champ Jersey Joe Walcott, delayed the count until
Ali was in a neutral corner. Liston got up after twelve seconds on the canvas. The fight resumed.
Walcott was called to the ring apron by Nat Fleischer, editor of
The Ring magazine, and Fleischer told him the timekeeper had tolled twelve seconds.
Walcott returned to Liston and Ali, who had resumed the fight on
their own, stopped it and declared Ali the victor.

Ali:
“War is against the teachings of the Qur’an. I’m not trying to dodge the draft. We are not supposed
to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger. We don’t take part in Christian wars or wars of any
unbelievers.”
“Man, I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong.
No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.” “Why should
they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while
so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?”
“I’m
not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave
masters of the darker people the world over.”
For refusing induction into the U. S. Army, Clay/Ali was stripped
of the championship title. he had had beat all possible contenders. But had not yet reached his prime. April 29, 1967
Clay, as Muhammad Ali, defended the championship title nine times in
three years, from 1964 to 1967. Clay
was arrested and sentenced
to jail on July 20, 1967 for refusing to serve in the army.
The
Houston (Texas) Post, July 21, 1967
Clay
paid bond and appealed the conviction. He appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court.

American Silk Tycoon
Jim Thompson
Disappears in Malaya
Easter Sunday, March 26, 1967
Jim Thompson
with the Delaware National Guard in 1941.
Jim
Thompson, an architect, was born in Delaware, the son of a textile manuafacturer, in 1906.
Thompson
was a francophile.
During the Second World War, Thompson joined the U. S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and landed with Allied forces
in southern France in August 1944. He accompanied
the French Resistance. Later, he went
to the Balkans.
Thompson arrived in Thailand with
the OSS just after VJ-Day in 1945 and headed the OSS office in Bangkok. He was the military attache of the American Legation in 1946. Thompson resigned
from the OSS in 1946 and returned home.
Thompson returned to Thailand In 1948 and sold silk produced
by local weavers.
By 1951 Thompson had a going silk business in Bangkok.

Among
Thompson's many clients was Queen Sirikit of Thailand.
Jim Thompson's home, made of teak, beside
a canal in Bangkok. The house was completed in 1959. The house, called 'Jim Thompson House', is a popular tourist attraction.
An
old friend and antique dealer, Constance (Connie) Mangskau, a Eurasian born in Chiang Mai in 1907, invited Jim Thompson
to visit the Cameron Highlands during Easter.
Mangskau worked as a translator for the American Legation in Bangkok after the Second World
War.
Jim
Thompson and Connie Mangskau in Bangkok in the late 1960s.
Thompson and Mangskau went to Penang
for the day and reached the Highlands on Friday, 24 March. They joined a Chinese chemist from Singapore, Ling Tien Gi, and
his American wife, Helen. They stayed in separate bungalows in a small resort called the 'Moonlight Bungalow'.
The
Cameron Highlands of the northern Malay Peninsula of Malaysia.
The
'Moonlight Bungalow'. The visit was Thompson's third.
Early on Easter morning, the four drove to a church near the
small town of Brinchang.
A last photo
of Jim Thompson at a picnic lunch with his friends near his bungalow in the early afternoon of Easter Sunday, 26
March 1967.
After lunch, at 1:30 p. m., Thompson went for a walk alone. He left by the only road to and from the bungalow.
At the bottom of the road, about 1.5 kilometres from the Moonlight Bungalow, was a Lutheran
Mission. The mission was visible from the bungalow.
Thompson was
last seen two and one-half hours later, around 4:00 p. m., visiting the Lutheran Mission by the mission's cook.
Thompson was never seen again.
Thompson did not return to his bungalow.
A
search failed to find him.
Most assumed that Thompson went for a hike alone in the surrounding hills and jungle. He may
have gotten lost. He had an accident. He slipped
and fell and injured himself. Perhaps a coconut dropped on his head. A tiger mauled him. A poisonous snake
bit him. A python devoured him.
His remains may still be in the jungle, intact or scattered by wild animals.
Did Thompson
catch a ride into the nearby town? In
1985, locals unearthed a skeleton without its skull in a vegetable plot along the highway near the town of Brinchang.
Did a lorry
driver run over a Caucasian man walking along a nearby road, pick up the body, drive it away and bury it?
A local medical examiner insisted there was no indication the bones were Jim Thompson's.
The
bones disappeared.
Map of the Malay Peninsula. The Cameron Highands are indicated in red.
Map of the area about the Moonlight Bungalow.
Some wondered if Thompson planned his disappearance.
Five months later, in the night of August 29 - 30, 1967, Thompson's eldest sister,
Mrs. Katherine Thompson Wood, was brutally murdered in her home in Pennsylvania.
To this day, Thompson's disappearance and his sister's murder are unsolved.
Much has been written about Jim Thompson
and his disappearance. Most of it is nonsense.
The first book about
Thompson's disappearance, Jim Thompson - The Unsolved Mystery, was written
by an American, William Warren, first published in 1970. The book was revised in 1999. This
book remains the best about Thompson's disappearance.

Nixon Elected President
November 5, 1968
New York Times, November 6, 1968
Richard M. Nixon, Republican Party candidate, vice-president
under Eisenhower (1953 - 1961), wins 1968 presidential
election.
From 1957 to 1960, Nixon was the most prominent vice-president
in American history. He was defeated by John Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election by a razor-thin margin. Two years later, in 1962, he was defeated in the gubenatorial
election in his home state of California. The loss signaled the end of Nixon's politcal career.
President Lyndon Johnson announced In March 1968 that he would
not seek another term. The most likely candidates for the office were the vice-president, Hubert Humphrey, and the Republican
governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller.
Nixon emerged as a dark-horse candidate and, in an incredible
political comeback, bested Rockefeller for the Republican
Party nomination.
Nixon won the 1968 presidential election by a slim margin,
besting Humphrey and a strong independent third party
candidate.

Two years later, on 17 April 1975, Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia,
fell to the Khmer Rouge (Red Khmer/Communist Khmers).

of South Vietnam, fell to the North Vietnamese.
South Vietnam was dissolved and reunited with North Vietnam under Communist rule.

Vientiane,
the capital of Laos, fell to the communist Pathet Lao on 2 December 1975.
All of Indo-China was under communist rule by December 1975.
Every generation wants a war or it is less than the previous generation. The Vietnam War was not a war on the scale of WWII ("Dad's war") or Korea ("Kid brother's war"). It was not a conventional war but
a guerrilla war. After WWII, Americans wanted experience in guerrilla warfare. They got it in Vietnam.
Otherwise, Americans never wanted the war. They wanted out of Vietnam before they got in. It was a martial
action. American soldiers were on occupation duty. The idea of containing
Communism was abandoned early on. Americans talked much of the inevitable pull-out and eventual hand-over. The presence
of American soldiers in Vietnam was merely a delaying action.
American marines complained, as early as 1965, that their missions were often betrayed.
No one but the arms dealers seemed to be serious about Vietnam. More bombs (tonnage) were dropped on
the rural country-side of Indo-China, mostly in Laos, than all the bombs dropped in WWII.
Man on the Moon
July 20 - 21, 1969
Saturn V rocket, carrying the Apollo 11 spacecraft, is
launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on July 16, 1969.
The crew of Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong, mission commander; Michael
Collins, pilot of the command module, Columbia; and Edwin Aldrin, pilot of the lunar midule, Eagle.
Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20 and stepped onto
the surface the following day, July 21.
They were the first men on the moon.
Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and the lunar module, Eagle,

The astronauts planted the American flag on the moon.
Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 1/2 hours on the moon.
The Columbia returned to Earth on July 24, splashing
down in the Pacific Ocean, 780 nautical miles southwest of Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands and 220 n. m. south of Johnston
Atoll.
Shortly after splashdown, President Nixon greets the three astronauts
in their quarantine chamber on board the aircraft carrier USS Hornet.
On June 14, three days before the launch of Apollo 11, the Soviet
Union launched Luna 15, an unmanned spacecraft, to retrieve rock and dust samples from the moon. Luna 15 reached
lunar orbit on June 17 and descended towards the moon surface on June 21, while Armstrong and Aldrin were there. Luna 15 crashed.
