The 51st anniversary of President Kennedy’s assassination was yesterday, as you know. Often, we see these pictures of people reading the headlines on the actual anniversary date, but this photo was surely taken 51 years ago today, on November 23, 1963. Just saying. Great picture.
Newsweek has a cover story this week –in print not just digital now you know– The Truth Behind JFK’s Assassination which is rather detailed long-winded. (We are SO impatient with these short reads that I found myself trying to get to the point before the writer got there.) Anyway, it essentially says that the Zapruder film, purchased by Time/Life the day after the shooting and seen as the complete record of it, has been taken as gospel but that idea seems to have obscured what REALLY happened 51 years ago. It’s a good read, whether you know your history or not. What else have you got to do on a Sunday?
Frame 153 from the Zapruder film.
