:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 11.22.2003 ::
:: JFKill: the 40th anniversary ::
From the HoustonChronicle.com:
JFK conspiracy cottage industry thriving
By JIM HENDERSON
Every year in late November, the death of a president draws the world's attention back to Dallas and America's most absorbing and enduring mystery.
Who killed President Kennedy?
That question will never be answered to everyone's satisfaction, and even the curator of the 6th Floor Museum in the old Texas School Book Depository on Dealey Plaza has been unable to come to his own conclusion.
"The Warren Commission compiled a huge amount of information," he says. "It's just not convincing."
For months, the communications industry -- newspapers; television networks; and magazine, book and CD publishers -- have been compiling histories and historical revisions to solemnize the 40th anniversary of the shots that altered a nation.
Could a lone sad sack have left such a large mark on history?
