...word was radioed
from the Situations Room...
:17:04

The Cabinet was out of the way.
:17:15
Troops for riot control were in the air.

Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia...
:18:24
...keeps them guessing, like a game.

These are documents classified top secret.
:18:54
In them, Kennedy told Gen. Lemnitzer,

would be wholly responsible...
