President Kennedy Injured in Dallas?

well, at least we have the younger kennedy brothers, especially teddy. i feel he will inspire young people, mostly young women, to go places they would have never gone to otherwise.

I wonder about Teddy this weekend. I hope he doesn't drown in his sorrows.

I can't believe Teddy was elected to the senate. All he ever does is drink and chaffeur his brothers' friends around, the useless sod.

xp

I think he got elected because of his looks, to be honest.

I'm telling you, women DROP DEAD for that guy!

YOU HAVE COLOUR TV NOW?! NO WAI

I saw one of these things at MM Cohn's the other day:

Out of my price range, though.

damn teddy is a fine lookin bro

is anybody else really worried about nixon

who?

ike's veep, ran against jfk back in 60. scary dude, and the party likes him i think.

They say Nixon lost the election because he looked like he's hungover in that one televised debate, and didn't come off as appealing as JFK. In reality he'd just been ill, and refused to wear makeup. So Kennedy won just because he looked better, wore makeup like some queer, and was generally better at bullshitting gullible voters. At least Nixon's got some integrity.

All that was missing was Kennedy having a cute puppy or something with him.

oh my god speaking of cute:

:'(

that kid's gonna grow up to do something great.

Jackie looks quite pretty in mourning... I bet you one day youngsters will find that sort of attire actually hot. And they'll listen to "morbid rock & roll" or something.

Oh THAT guy. He's history, I wouldn't worry about it.

so, lbj's first month in office, any thoughts?

He's apparently going to meet with that negro troublemaker reverend, so high marks for him.

Hai I'm presidetn of Bell Helicopter and I'd just like to say LBJ is a total fucking BRO.

Goldwater's going to wipe him up next year if LBJ does get cozy with the negroes.

I think enough time has passed now to view these events with equanimity. How's it shaping up for you guys over there? Personally, I reckon there were two, maybe three shooters, and that the R-s were involved. (Can't take too many risks!)

can a mod change the thread title :(

I don't think we should do that. This is a chilling historical document of a terrible blow for world peace, and should be kept as is. Anyway, gotta scoot - nuclear drill!

As a supporter of Dr. King (though not those "black nationalist" types, of course) shocked to see this kind of backwards thinking on ILX.

So it's looking like we might finally get national healthcare.

That's about as likely as electing a Negro president

Off topic but has anyone heard that song The Ostrich by The Primitives? It's crazy! If only there was some way I could share it with you.

wait a minute how are we on the internet?

Off-shoot of the Korean War program.

Incidentally I managed to have a go on this Spacewar gizmo the other day. Electrical moving picture game. Kind of amazing cutting edge technological stuff but I can't see it ever replacing Monopoly tbh.

The controllers are too big and heavy. And I've heard rumours that Doc Smith is gonna sue!

Never forget!

Can't believe it's been over 2 3/4 years. Funny how I can't remember where I was when I heard the news.

hanging out with GHW Bush presumably

Naw, truth was that I was walking around aimlessly, transistor glued to my ear, and didn't think to check the street signs, understand

We did this already, USA Today.

• Reddit launches a search for the killer, complete with photos of people at Dealey Plaza.

Haa

lamestreamers need a late pass

Spent half-an-hour on this morning. Students were very interested--they always are, today especially--asked some smart questions.

You're not gonna believe this, but Oswald has been shot.

The owner of a striptease-type nightclub, Harry Reasoner says. How could such a person be let in the jail by the cops?

I missed the live stream but looked at the excerpted clip. So Oswald wasn't shot on live television? From the clip, it looks like they cut to a lot of general confusion after he's been shot, and then play the actual shooting on tape a few minutes later.

not on CBS

what network is it on there are only three, people.

well we had the Dumont network a few years ago, but that'll never happen again

Congratulations, America.

A corps of researchers looking into the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy say they have unearthed proof his alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was involved in an operation by the CIA mere months before the killing, reigniting questions about whether the Oswald truly was alone in his decision to kill the youngest man ever elected president.

In a Tuesday press conference at the National Press Club, Jefferson Morley—a veteran of the D.C. press corps and a preeminent expert on JFK's assassination with the Mary Ferrell Foundation—told reporters that he and attorneys with the foundation obtained documentation relating to a still-classified covert operation approved by senior CIA officials three months before Kennedy's death that suggested the agency used Oswald for intelligence purposes several weeks prior to shooting.

"This is an extraordinarily serious claim, and it has profound implications for the official story," Morley said Tuesday morning in Washington. "The CIA knew far more about the lone gunman than then they are admitting even today. So this story deserves the closest possible scrutiny."
