...from the backward jerk of his head and body, that the bullet or bullets which killed him came from in front of the car, perhaps precisely from the spot--known to students of the assassination as the "grassy knoll"--where the man with the rifle is situated. Lee Harvey Oswald, of course, supposedly shot President Kennedy from in back of him, out of a window in the Texas School Book Depository. The filmed evidence of the actual shooting, which certainly seems to make it questionable that Oswald fired the fatal shots, is old material. The man aiming the rifle...
Politics of Conspiracy. This is a three-day national conference on assassination theory, and it includes some movies. Also lectures, seminars, and experts like former New Orleans D.A.

The 14th century Berber historian Ibn-Khaldun prefigured the idea by concluding that history repeatedly moves through the same cycles. According to Ibn-Khaldun's theory, a youthful, growing society is animated by asabiyya, the spirit of social solidarity found in what he called...
...play takes Ruby through the assassination weekend. He greets the killing with a mixture of maudlin sentimentality, explosive violence and foxy commercialism-should he close down the club for the weekend? The assassination of Oswald is treated as an intricate accident of circumstances and personality, history's shabby talent for placing the wrong man at the inexorably right place...
