In 1963, I was in jr high school and I remember between classes hearing the tragic news that our president had been shot and killed - everyone was in shock.
We now know that between 1963 and 1966, Lyndon Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover successfully contained public criticism about the Kennedy assassination investigation through the Warren Report. In 1966, after the publication of two major critical attacks by responsible critics, a gallup poll indicated that 66 percent of the American people no longer believed the Warren Report and the Congress began to call for a new investigation.

The collapse of the credibility of the Warren Report created a desperate vacuum which was predictably filled by other absurd, distortions of truth.
