...really Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, who shot down John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963? Twelve years later, doubts about the assassination stubbornly persist. A five-page story in the Nation section this week re-examines the evidence, which still persuasively supports the Warren Commission findings. Senior Writer Ed Magnuson and Reporter-Researchers Marta Dorion and Patricia Gordon spent many weeks reviewing the Warren Report, examining blowups of the Zapruder film and talking with ballistics and medical experts. Magnuson also drew on interviews by TIME correspondents with various experts and assassination theorists round the country. In Washington...
...that the FBI is badly shaken by the Oswald cover-up that failed [Nov. 3]. How do we find out who else covered up important information about the J.F.K. assassination unless we reopen the investigation into the assassination?

Television and radio talk shows focus on the Warren Report-and question it. Shown three times on ABC-TV, the shocking color movie of the shooting taken...

In contrast, I doubt if Oswald could have killed John Kennedy from a third-floor window with a knife or a sharp piece of glass...
...Oswald Spengler had been developing somewhat similar theories as early as the first volume of Decline of the West in 1918. But while Spengler argued that the decay of civilizations was inexorable and essentially purposeless, Toynbee insisted that man retains his freedom of choice: "I do not believe that civilizations have to die...Civilization is not an organism. It is a product of wills." Moreover, it has a purpose, a dimly perceived but divinely ordained purpose. "History," he wrote, "[is] a vision of God's creation on the move...
