The best account of the assassination of Kennedy is Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann's book, "Ultimate Sacrifice" (which should be made into a movie soon).

He was killed by the mafia, Roselli tried and failed in Chicago, Trafficante, in Miami,
and in Dallas, was done finally by Marcello in Dallas, who was Ruby's boss.
Harvey was set up as a patsy.

Marcello did it

I was...chillingly.. in an American History class in college.

I also had a paper route and had to deliver that news headline to over a hundred people.

I was a 12-year-old lad and I was in front of the telly at home in Radcliffe, Manchester. Scene At 6.30 was on. A few minutes into the programme, Mike Scott, the estimable presenter, interrupted his item to tell us in a halting, incredulous voice that news has just come in that President Kennedy had been shot. That was at about 6.35pm UK time. Granada TV was the first to break the news in the UK, I discovered later.

AKA "Da Frub". At least, that's what they called him in the chess club.

I thank you both.

Fred Bandersnatch, a name I will commit to memory. It answers a question that has plagued me for many decades.

That would have been Fred Bandersnatch. He had an excess of bomps leftover from a celebration the previous week in honor of the Great Fartiste, Joseph Pujol, aka "Le Petomane."

Thanks, Brucie9. I have always wished for an appropriate assessment of the challenge presented in the bomp-shu-bomp question.

"How often does it [Nov 22] fall on Thanksgiving?"

A better phrasing of the question would be "How often does Thanksgiving fall on November 22?" because November 22 is 'fixed' and Thanksgiving is not.

2012, 2018, 2029, 2035, 2040, 2046, 2057, 2063, 2068, 2074, 2085, 2091, 2096

When we look at those numbers we can easily see a pattern that will hold true until we once again re-adjust the calendar by having a double leap year--that is a leap year where there are TWO extra days added, but since that occurs only once every 10,000 years or so it need not affect this calculation.

The pattern is easily discernible by noting the years between the above dates. The pattern is such: 6,11,6,5,6,11,6,5,6,11,6,5 and so on. A very simple calculation when compared to "Who put the bomp in the bomp shu bomp shu bomp?"

I was hanging storm windows with my Father in law. Shock and anger that any son of a bitch thought he had the right to kill our president.
Charmion, many things happened on that day, some less important.

22 November is also the birthday of Charles de Gaule. Perspective, people; the rest of the world also has history.

What were you doing that day?
How did it affect you?
Do you think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone?
Who do you think was behind it?
