JFK / Who Wanted Him Dead? : 10
pages in length.
Attempting to determine just which group or individual
wanted John F. Kennedy out of office has been one of the
most compelling, yet ever-elusive, aspects of the president's
assassination. A worthwhile topic for one's research paper,
evaluating the various conspiracy theories will help to bring
together all the massive speculation that has lived on
throughout the years, sometimes with very little proof to
substantiate the claims. Clearly, there was more at work with
regard to JFK's assassination than that of a lone lunatic; as the
student puts to use the various articles in this series, there will
at once be a significant sense of understanding as to the
diverse possibilities incorporated in the many conspiracy
theories. This paper consists solely of an annotated
