...Crime Scene Investigation JFK Assassination 1 JFK Assassination: Introduction November 22, 1963 is considered one of the darkest days in the history of the United States. Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas was the setting for one of the most horrific moments ever captured on video, in what has become one of the most controversial topics in US history. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has raised many theories about what exactly happened that day in the fall of 1963. Many wonder if the lone gunmen theory published by The Warren Commission is the truth, or better yet was even possible? Other questions such as why was certain evidence overlooked and in the case of the President’s limousine and clothing, why were they washed and repaired before the proper investigation could be performed on them? Many books have been written on the subject of the JFK assassination, and I in fact would have to end up writing a book just to mention and discuss all of them. Simply to avoid that, I chose to discuss only a few topics and give my own two cents on what could have been done better to investigate the assassination of the 35th President of the United States. I first want to focus on the mishandling of critical evidence that many experts say would easily answer certain questions. For example the mishandling of evidence that might have proven that there was more than one shooter, and where exactly the shots came from. Second, I want to look at how that evidence would have helped...

...that Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t act on this alone. Others say that more bullets shot out of the gun than the bullets that were shot. Did Oswald act alone or was there another involved? Were there multiple bullets triggered? Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy’s assassinator, shot three bullets. Two of them entered into the president’s neck and head. The third bullet entered the governor’s chest. “Bullets struck...

...How Did John F. Kennedy Deal With Cuba? Leslie Doughty Professor Nettles Augusta POL 300 July 29, 2013 Strayer University John F. Kennedy was the first American president born in the 20th century. The Cold War and the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union were vital international issues throughout his political career. His inaugural address stressed the contest between the free world and the communist world, and he pledged that the American people would "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, and oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." (Roskin, 2010). Cold War rhetoric dominated the 1960 presidential campaign. Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon both pledged to strengthen American military forces and promised a tough stance against the Soviet Union and international communism. Kennedy warned of the Soviet's growing arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles and pledged to revitalize American nuclear forces. He also criticized the Eisenhower administration for permitting the establishment of a pro-Soviet government in Cuba. (Roskin, 2010). Before his inauguration, JFK was briefed on a plan drafted during the Eisenhower administration to train Cuban exiles for an invasion of their homeland. The plan anticipated that support from the Cuban people and perhaps even elements of the Cuban military would lead to the overthrow of Castro and the...

...A UFO, unidentified flying object, is an unexplained moving object observed in the sky, especially one assumed by some observers to be of extra-terrestrial origin (Random House Dictionary). Technically, the term UFO is a wrong term that is used to name possible alien aircrafts. UFO originally meant Unconventional flying object, not unidentified flying object. The military has known since the 1940s that these were intelligently piloted craft (http://www.aliens-everything-you-want-to-know.com). The term ‘alien’ is a verbally abused term. As defined in the Oxford American Dictionary, the term refers to a person who is not a citizen of a country in which he is living. In our community today, the term is more commonly used when referred to space beings. For this research matter, the term aliens will be referred to as space beings. From the ancient times, countless sightings of UFO’s have been recorded. A lot of archaeologists claim that aliens have been here since the beginning of our world. According to Harold E. Burt, Aliens are a part of earth’s history. They have been here during our entire existence. When the Roman Empire was in full bloom, they were there. When Columbus crossed the Atlantic, they were there. When Christ was born, they were there! Thanks to Will Smith and Tommie Lee Jones, everybody has heard of or seen the fictitious action-comedy movie ‘Men in Black.’ The movie is all about the existence of aliens lingering with us in our community without our...

There has been so much information given to the public, yet 54 years later things are still not completely adding up.

...that the coffin itself weighed over 900 pounds due to the fact that it had an air conditioning unit installed inside it to keep the wax from melting in the Memphis heat.”(Gerard). This rationale is actually very interesting, it gives another example of how the king is still alive. Evidence is given in the example that is why it almost makes me believe that this conspiracy is actually true. But if you think about it, almost all conspiracists are usually wacky and do not put out the full truth. So anybody could of made this crazy lie about how Elvis’ body was made of wax. There are many counter-arguments to the Elvis theory, “Is it really possible that Elvis faked his death and went into hiding only to reveal himself through various means many years later? The answer is a resounding no. There are no facts to...

...a shaken nation. The speech itself is brilliant, it provides a strong appeal to logos, pathos and ethos. This speech has inspired millions of people and touched their hearts as well. John F. Kennedy, also known as JFK, was the youngest president to ever be elected into office. Kennedy was born into a wealthy family, and was expected to achieve great things. Three years prior to World War II (1939), Kennedy attended Harvard until 1940. Although, America had practiced appeasement during WW2, after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 war was inevitable. One year later, JFK joined the navy where he...

...Battle for Logan (A) * The battle for Logan Airport: American Airlines vs Jetblue * January, 2004 - Joe Smith, American Airlines VP of Strategy – realized that JetBlue Airways, one of the most recent entrants into the low-cost carrier (LCC) market, was five days away from commencing service at Boston’s Logan International Airport * Given the success of LCCs in other markets, Smith believed there was a good chance that the low fare prices those competitors offered would reduce American’s pricing power and load factor (a standard measure of capacity utilization) for those flights * Smith sat back in his chair and thought about the industry’s evolution and American’s position in it, while contemplating his course of action. * Airline industry overview - Prior to 1978, an airline’s ability to freely choose its routes and ticket prices was limited by strong regulatory controls. With the passing of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, however, government control of routes and fare pricing was eliminated, resulting in increased consolidation and competition and the emergence of unequal cost structures, as airlines jockeyed for a better market position and price advantage in the post-regulation era. By the start of the 1990s, industry consolidation had resulted in a handful of airlines’ controlling more than 90% of the U.S. air passenger transportation market. * Competition after deregulation increased dramatically at both the national and the regional levels...

...was also a disgusting sweaty, gross, slob, who loved to go bowling, played multiple instruments, and drank a lot of alcohol, even tho he was extremely religious. Nixon was born on a Farmhouse in California and had five brothers. As a child Richard and his family had to deal with financial hardship, a couple years after he was born Nixon and his family moved into the town of Whittier and bought a store that the whole family ran together. You’d think that with everything Nixon went through as a child it would humble him and he would be a great president, but that's not exactly how it went. Now thats not to say Richard Nixon was a horrible president in actuality he helped America in many detrimental ways, for example he successfully ended the vietnamese war and improved relations between both the USSR and the Chinese. Unfortunately all the of these good things are trumped by all the horrible things that he did, but let's start with Vietnam for now. Vietnam was a...

...Strategic Management January 9, 2012 Discus the trends in the U.S. airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy. Change is the only thing that is constant. The airline industry has been through many changes in the past ten years. The September 11 event of 2001 sparked many changes. Security has been strictly enforced and fuel prices are at an all-time high. Many air-line companies have implemented baggage fees to help recover from the rising fuel prices and etc. There are some recent trends that have helped the air-line industry and also affected the air-line industry. With booming cellular data usage on the rise, many companies have turned to mobile apps. Smart phone applications are convenient for customers and the companies are taking advantage of the availability of these mobile devices. It is instant access and information in the palms of their hands. Airlines are increasing their reliance on technology to streamline passenger experience at check in and at the gate. Despite unfounded security concerns, paperless boarding passes have been adopted by some airlines and are being tested by others. A bar code is sent to the phone and then scanned by a barcode reader at security and during boarding. The TSA actually prefers the electronic bar codes, because they are much harder to counterfeit than printable boarding passes. One of the most recent trends that will impact the air-line industry is the European emissions regulations. Everyone...

...In our book, Killing Kennedy, the author starts off by giving us a little insight on the book. He also explains how most Americans born before 1953 remember exactly where they were at when they were told the news that JFK had been assassinated. The author also explains how JFK's assassination was kind of personal for him because his family had ties to the young president Kennedy and his family. Near the end of his opener the author gives a list, the list contains the similarities and suspicious ties between Kennedy's assassination and Lincoln's assassination and by doing that it, in my opinion, opens the door to talk about the whole conspiracy theory involving JFK. Prior to his presidential service he was a Lieutenant in the US Navy. On 66 August night in 1943, PT109 was on patrol in the South Pacific. Kennedy was on watch for any Japanese boats. Suddenly they are struck by the Amagiri. They are adrift for 5 hours before they reach an island. After days of trying to be rescued and failing, he meets some islanders who say that they want to help him. He carves a message into a coconut for the men to deliver. Soon Kennedy and his men are rescued by the US Navy and the legend of PT109 begins. Later in his presidency the coconut takes a prominent place upon his desk. John...

...JetBlue: Delighting Customers through Happy Jetting In 2007, JetBlue was a thriving young airline with a strong reputation for outstanding service. In fact, the low-fare airline referred to itself as a customer service company that just happened to fly planes. But in Valentine's Day 2007, JetBlue was hit by the perfect storm-literally-of events that led to an operational meltdown. One of the most severe storms of the decade covered JetBlue's main hub at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport with a thick layer of snow and ice. Small JetBlue did not have the infrastructure to deal with such a crisis. The severity of the storm, coupled with a series of poor management decisions, left JetBlue passengers stranded in planes on the runway for up to 11 hours. Worse still, the ripple effect of the storm created major JetBlue flight disruptions for six more days. Understandably, customers were livid. JetBlue's efforts to clean up the mess following the six-day Valentine’s Day nightmare cost over $30 million dollars in overtime, flight refunds, vouchers for future travel, and the other expenses. But the blow to the company's previously stellar customer-service reputation stung far more than the financial fallout. JetBlue became the butt of jokes by late night talk show hosts. Some industry observers even predicted that this would be the end of the seven-year-old airline. But just three years later, the company is not only still flying; it is growing, profitable, and hotter...

...How successful was Martin Luther King’s campaign for civil rights in the years 1955-1968? During this time period, Martin Luther King had many successes and failures in his campaign for civil rights. King played an iconic role in all the work he did for African Americans, his achievements for the Black people were outstanding. On the other hand there are ideas that contradict his greatness on making such an impact to civil rights. We are able measure MLK’s achievements, by analysing how successful he was with his campaigns. Success can be given upon by the result of the predicted outcome compared to the true outcome. In this case it’s whether King’s ambitions for the movement came to be achieved or if his campaigns failed. For this we shall be studying his achievements and failures in the civil rights movement between 1955 and 1968. You can also look at how much awareness of the campaign was made to America, along with this the consequences of the campaigns and what resulted after them. You can use all of these criteria to judge how successful MLK was. King’s first major involvement of leading a campaign started on the 1st of December 1955, when Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up a seat on a bus in Montgomery Alabama. This was when King was first recognised as being a strong leader in gaining equality for African Americans, along with the backing of the church. The result of Rosa Park’s arrest became the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which was run by MLK, the NAACP,...

...John F. Kennedy having an Irish ancestry led to deep sadness in the community which was very pro- Kennedy. The sixties were an interesting decade because of the two Kennedy assassinations, the hippie movement, The Mets winning the world series, and music explosion. I recall the sixties being a good and bad time due to all of the events that were occurring throughout the time. All that was broadcasted for three consecutive days was the constant viewing of the assassination, the funeral, and the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner, as he was being heading towards Dallas police headquarters where he would be detained. The three consecutive days of live broadcasting were depressing because JFK was well supported in the neighborhood as well as the country as a...
