Okay, I'll have my go at the TOD:
I was in Miss Kasarda's second grade classroom. We had just come in from recess. The fifth grade teacher, Mr. Jones, knocked on the door. Miss Kasarda went out into the hall for a few moments and returned to tell us that there would be no more school that afternoon as somebody had killed our president.
My family was glued to the teevee for the following days. We did witness Ruby shoot Oswald. We cried with Jackie as John-John gave his salute.
Until Stone's JFK, I was aware of many of the conspiracy theories being bandied about - I had even read THE WARREN REPORT when it came out -but, Stone sent me in search of the other materials out there. The book I like best is CROSSFIRE.
And DR elmore is sooooo correct! Jim Garrison was indeed a very shady figure.
Stone's JFK is a film that I revisit quite often, maybe two or three times a year and then follow-up with more fact/fiction checking. I have several shelves of books about the assassination, as well as Stone's illustrated and annotated screenplay.
So, whodunnit?
Even with books attempting to prove otherwise, Lee Harvey Oswald did not do it.
The government had to be involved, as who else would/could have known about the change in the motorcade's route that day?
Who was that person with the umbrella?
If I had a time machine at my disposal, I think that I would like to go back to Dallas on that fatal November day many times to view all of the strange goings on.
