Some people just can’t or won’t let go. Fifty years ago a
lone gunman, a misfit, shot and killed the President of the United States in
Dallas, Texas. For most of November 2013 the news media has given coverage to the
eternally suspicious conspiracy speculators among us that Lee Harvey Oswald was
not acting alone when he killed President John F. Kennedy. That horrific act
still sells papers and promotes television. It’s called titillating the masses.
It is good and healthy for a nation to remember, but it is long past the time when
we ought to have moved on. Thanksgiving will be next week and something else
will lead on the front pages and evening news teasers. Read and watch.
