OPENING 1:
One well-placed bullet can change the course of history. On the morning of November 22, 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald changed history with three as he shot President John F. Kennedy as he rode through Dealey Plaza in Dallas Texas. The country was shocked by the question of why someone would want to shoot the President. Unfortunately Oswald was killed just before he could testify, leaving the question as to what the motive was to kill the President of the United States. Also, new questions arose as to why a mobbed-up nightclub owner would put himself in front of the cops and national television just to shoot Oswald. President Kennedy was highly approved of and lead the U.S to make tremendous leaps into progression, he had a dark past and affiliations with organized crime that are believed to be the reason for his early and tragic departure from this world.
OPENING 2:
President John F Kennedy was portrayed to the American public as an outstanding, well-rounded, Irish-catholic man who was a strong leader, but President Kennedy had a deep past associating with some of America’s worst crime figures. Throughout the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, while Havana Cuba was thriving as the gambling capital of the world, Kennedy found himself regularly in the company of known crime bosses such as Santo Trafficante, Sam Giancana, and Carlos “Little Man” Marcello. The then-Senator Kennedy was treated like royalty by these men, receiving gifts and special treatment, all due to their previous relationships with Kennedy’s bootlegger father Joseph P. Kennedy. It is believed that the relationships that JFK made with these men helped put him into the Oval Office; however, it is also speculated that in the long run these men were responsible for taking his life on that sunny November afternoon in Dallas.
