I had the bad judgement to visit the Texas Book Depository in Dallas a day after Christmas last year. What an incredible downer. Anyway, after paying the fee to go into what is now a museum, we made our way to the famous corner on the sixth floor by the window, behind stacks of boxes, and had a look down range to see the line of fire enjoyed by Oswald. After a lifetime of watching programs on the JFK shooting and listening to endless drivel about it, there it was. It was evident to me that the distance from the window to the presidential limo, while not so short, isn’t really so long either. I would believe that a circle the size of a torso at that range could contain 90 % 0f the shots fired at the center of the circle. Randomness is a funny thing. Oswald might have just been lucky that day.
