If I lived in the USA and had a DVD recorder that would be a transmission I'd save... I was a 17 year old mailroom clerk at the "Dallas Morning News" in the summer of '52. I knew the area then, and have been in, out, and sideways on "the grassy knoll." since the '63. Used to be a big "buff" of the whole incident, as many were and still are. I am back to "Oswald did it." But I won't spend ten seconds debating it with anybody. Waste of time. There is a special on tonight featuring tapes of Bobby Kennedy speaking at the time. The Kennedy brothers made complete White House tapes of everything that went on while Jack was President. And they have been whittled down to almost nothing by the Kennedy Family. What is left is very self-serving. Jack and Bobby knew they were being recorded, but nobody else in the room did.

JJ, It was evening in Berlin. Earlier that day, we did a recon of new wall fortifications and we were having a beer in Willi Kitts Bar on Kadetten Weg in West Berlin (a block from the old SS officer training barracks) when the shooting occurred. I can tell you that Berlin wept big tears for a long time. Willi turned off the music, told his patrons to stop dancing and announced that JFK had been shot in Dallas. My teammates and I headed for the door and were back in the unit a few minutes later gearing up. Berlin mourned for 30 days. There was no music, no celebrations, and no dancing in Berlin for that entire period. uw
