I decided this year to quietly mark the 40th anniversary of JFK’s assassination by not commenting on the raging conspiracy controversy many people still consider a possibility.
But what if JFK had lived? Well he’d be what, 87 now? Sounds about right. I found two speeches he was supposed to deliver on November 22, 1963: one at the Trade Mart in Dallas, the other to the Texas Democratic State Committee in Austin.
Read them carefully, and then wonder if he hit onto something that sounds so familiar today.
