Kennedy’s assassination on Nov. 22, 1963: — The president was about to announce the numerous UFO sightings in the United States were really secret military intelligence air craft, so he had to be killed. — His death was orchestrat ed by a jealous Joe DiMaggio, who objected to Marilyn Monroe’s attraction to the president. — A right- wing group of Texas oilmen wanting to rid the country of a [Vol Connally.

Lee Harvey Oswald, the pre sumed assassin, was one of his foot soldiers. — Oswald was actually aim ing for Texas Gov.

The man who occupied the White House came from a politically powerful family. A product of elite Eastern schools, he had won the presi dency three years before in one of the closest elections in history. The losing candidate had been the other party’s two- term vice president, who appeared stiff on television. With a tough re-election battle looming the next year, this com mander in chief engendered equally strong passions among supporters and opponents. Most Americans, it seemed, either loved him or hated him. If you answered 1963 and John F. Kennedy, you wouldk right. If you answered and George W. Bush, yo would be right. Forty years after the Ni 1963, assassination Kennedy, historians and poi| scientists cite striking ties — and obvious — between the president w was killed in Texas and theprs ident who hails from Texas. “To the extent that then such as thing as a poll dynasty, you’d look at Kennedys and the Bushes typ tying that,” said Stevens, a Texas University history professor^ teaches a course or American presidency, course, in America, any Iff* of dynasty that you is always subject to the# the voters.” * I*L-l A DFI SUNDAYS, 8:00 P.M Trinity Baptist Preschool Open: Mon - Fri Ages: 3 years - 5 years Spaces available for 2 days 3 days or 5 days a week.
