The Trip to Dallas: An Update

A Trip to Dallas was written in October 1993, immediately after the events it describes. Several things worth noting have happened since that time.

Most important, I suppose, is the fact that Bill Clinton was a no-show at the Dealey Plaza 30th anniversary commemoration. The President was expected to attend the ceremonies; it has been reported that the Kennedy family asked him not to attend.

Then, on November 22, 1993, Clinton told CNN that he believed the Warren Commission was correct in naming Lee Harvey Oswald the lone assassin of JFK. Shortly after this, the President said he had read portions of Gerald Posner's Case Closed, and found it "persuasive."

Another matter requiring an update: the JFK Assassination Information Center no longer exists. Sadly, its executive director, Larry Howard, died suddenly, suffering a brain aneurism on January 8, 1994. He was 53 years old. Others tried to keep the AIC going for a time, but apparently it proved to be too difficult a task.
