Dr. Robert McClelland was in trauma room one and says he saw the back half of the right cerebral hemisphere blown out of Kennedy 's head. They checked his for a pulse and didn 't find him. A local priest was called in to give last rights, then Mrs. Kennedy went in. She switched their wedding rings so she had his and he had hers and then kisses his foot which was the only part of him not covered by a sheet. Mrs Johnson asked to see Mrs. Kennedy; "She was quite alone. I don’t think I ever saw anybody so much alone in my life. I went up to her, put my arms around her, and said something like 'God help us ' because my feelings for her were too tumultuous to put into words." Mr. Hii received a call from Kennedy 's brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy asking how his brother was. Hill not wanting to say he was dead said, :Its as bad as it can get." At 1:00 P.M.

John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, leaving his Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson, in charge of a hopeless and disbanded country. Shortly after he was sworn in, Johnson attempted to ease those emotions in his speech, "Let Us Continue." In his speech, "Let Us Continue," Johnson's purpose is to persuade his audience that the country needs to be united again in order to move on and to ease the hopelessness and emotional tension after Kennedy's assassination. Johnson first addresses his audience, and then starts out with the usage of an antithesis, stating that "The greatest leader of our time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time," creating an empathetic mood in order to soothe the emotional tension within the audience.

Johnson theory is credible. In many video tapes of President John F. Kennedy being shot, viewers see that the bullets hit him from different angles. This must mean that there is more than one shooter, because it would be impossible for one shooter to hit Kennedy from two different angles in a moving car. Another way this theory is credible is that Johnson’s mistress, Madeleine Duncan Brown, has said that on the eve of Kennedy’s assassination, he said “After tomorrow those... Kennedys will never embarrass me again.

It’s the year 1976, the United States Senate has just called for a new inquiry into the infamous assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in 1963 during his own motorcade in Dallas, TX while running for re-election. The CIA along with the FBI were coaxed into releasing new documents on Lee Harvey Oswald, and individuals who had not given evidence previously were persuaded to come forward. Pieces of evidence such as sound recordings and photographs were being subjected to scientific research analysis using more modern equipment. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations, or (HCSA), finally came to a verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald shot three times at the president; one of which, hitting his head and killing him. It was also concluded that a fourth shot was taken from ‘the grassy knoll’, which was something that was contradicting to the statement given by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier.

It was November 21st and I, Laura Berman, was sitting in a parlor with the one and only John F. Kennedy. The parlor wasn’t grand, honestly it almost drab, but it had a quaint homey feel to it. It was almost as if it had held a life much simpler than ours. I sat on the arm of a La-Z-boy with a glass of whiskey in my right hand.

Although we like to pretend the President of the Unites States is a perfect leader capable of leading this country to glory, no President is without scandals. They are humans just like the general population, and with every new president, rumors spread. Some turn out to be just that, but in some cases those rumors turn out to be true. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States and during his presidency there was a report that he and a woman by the name of Sally Hemings were engaged in a sexual relationship. Jefferson got married to Martha Wayles Skeleton in 1772 and in 1773 Mrs. Hemings was brought onto Jefferson's plantation as a slave because of Martha's inheritance.

The confusion, shock, and pandemonium at the scene of the crime can hardly be overstated. Amidst the sensory assault of roaring motorcycles, wailing sirens, and the highly animated throng cheering the arrival of President John F. Kennedy and his elegant wife, Jacqueline, one of the most momentous events of the 20th century occurred in mere seconds. Eyewitness perceptions varied wildly. Some thought shots had come from behind the limousine (the vicinity of the Book Depository), while others thought they came from in front or from the right side (the grassy knoll) three witnesses thought the shots sounded as if they came from right inside the President 's car. One witness erroneously thought a bystander was shot in the foot and fell down.

For example, on pages 26 and 27 he mentions that the president was not at every Executive Committee meeting because, as Robert Kennedy states, “Personalities change when the president is present, and frequently even strong men make recommendations on the basis of what they believe the President wishes to hear.” This implies that President Kennedy was aware that his rank harmed the productivity of those working with him and therefore disrupted their headway regarding creating a solution to the issue. Secondly, Robert Kennedy writes about Executive Committee meetings, “Everyone had an equal opportunity to express himself and to be heard directly. It was a tremendously advantageous procedure that does not frequently occur within the executive branch of the government, where rank is often so important” (36). Robert Kennedy goes as far as to criticize the functionality of his government to prove that working without rank was beneficial for the situation; hence implying that if there had been an apparent rank that their work would have been of lesser quality.
