It has been 45 years... and the debate still rages.

It was this day in 1963 that shots rang out in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas ... setting in motion one of the strangest and long-lived conspiracy theories ever concocted. US president John F. Kennedy was shot to death, at least that's what the evidence shows. I was fortunate last Christmas to get Vincent Bugliosi's book "Reclaiming History - The assassination of John F. Kennedy". I am now convinced that Bugliosi's research is right, and it backs up the Warren Report, that Kennedy was shot by one 'nutbar' named Lee Harvey Oswald. Unfortunately, people around the world have the hard time accepting the fact that one person acting alone can kill a president. I used to have to my doubts. Bugliosi addresses every conspiracy theory and they all have one common thread... they're all based on misinformation. That's a little tidbit of information placed in front of you in such a deceitful way as to make it sound true. With more than 1600 pages of fine print, and more than 20 years of hard research, Bugliosi proves 'em all wrong. Don't take my word for it. Read the book. Wow... can you believe it's been 45 years?
