50 years ago, the nation lost a little more of its innocence when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald. Today, we mourn the loss of the last president, to date, to die in office and the first president of the television era. While conspiracy theorists continue to try and shift the blame off of Oswald and on to the CIA, Fidel Castro, the Russians, LBJ, and, possibly, Bozo the Clown, the allure of what might have been continues to hold sway over our country.
