Wilentz writes, “If kennedy had been finishing his 2nd term in 1968, it is difficult to imagine the political resurrection of two-time loser Richard Nixon, for he was looking at a Kennedy dynasty,” and it’s been suggested that the erased parts of the “Watergate tapes” were not actually discussions about the Watergate break-in but about the Kennedy Assassination. -Magic Bullet: One of the bullets fired at Kennedy, according to the Warren Commission, traveled and zigzagged along an almost impossible path. It went through Kennedy’s throat, to Mr. Connally’s lung, hit Connally’s rib, and then his wrist, and then finally exited
Lisa Reddick HIST 1302-2401 12/30/11 Lesson 10, Enrichment Idea 2 In 1866 on a warm May evening in Pulaski, TN, six long-time friends passed the time drinking whisky and telling stories in the law office of John Lester. Finally the talk turned toward the perceived “ills” of their southern society and what they, as good southern gentlemen, should do about these problems.

she orchestrated a dinner at Mount Vernon in honor of President Ayub Khan, whom President Kennedy wanted to honor for his role in supporting the U.S. in a recent crisis; she banished large U-shaped dining tables, replacing them with round tables that seated eight. Her social graces were legendary, as can be noted from the way she communicated with De Gaulle in Paris and Nikita Kruschev in Vienna. The President's summit in Vienna turned out to be a disaster, but the Premier's enjoyment of Mrs. Kennedy's company was subsequently deemed one of the few positive outcomes. When Soviet Premier Khrushchev was asked to shake President Kennedy's hand for a photo, the Communist leader said, "I'd like to shake her hand first.” In this and many other occasions, she was key in assuring that the meetings of the president ran smoothly. But what really set her forward in the eyes of the world was her reaction to the murder of JFK in 1963.
