40 Years

There is no mystery like the assassination of JFK. Was it a single bullet that killed Kennedy or were there multiple individuals involved? Tomorrow, November 22, 2003, marks the 40-year anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, yet even Dr. Wecht concedes the mystery still remains unsolved with no definitive proof on either side, at least until those who conspired step forward with the truth. Today, Dr. Wecht kicks off a national symposium,
Solving the Great American Murder Mystery, at the Wecht Institute at Duquesne University.

Dr. Wecht was the first independent forensics expert to examine JFK's autopsy records and his long-held, well-known belief is that there was more than one assassin. As Pittsburgh's KDKA reported this week, Dr. Wecht believes the assassination was nothing less than the overthrow of the government; a "coup d'鴡t in America." He's not alone.

In 1998, a CBS News poll found that only 10 percent of respondents felt Oswald acted alone, while 74 percent believed there was a cover-up. Without question, JFK's assassination remains at least an unsettling mystery to many Americans.

Not surprisingly, the media has been all over the subject this week. Here are some articles and resources we've come across:
