Thanks for posting this.  I have always been a JFK reader...have read several books about that awful day and the "potential" cover-ups.  It is quite interesting.

Very chilling. As you read you can, at least I could, feel the mode and swing of emotions from what had happened, what was happening, and what was about to happen.
For me I'm not sure I will ever believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the Killing of Kennedy.

Very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen such a detailed account of the immediate aftermath of Kennedy's death.

There was a documentary on this also not long ago on TV.  It mentioned the tension between the two camps so some of this was review for me.

But I had never heard of the tugging match between the Feds and the Dallas police over the coffin.  That's just outrageous!  Very undignified, and the Feds always trump state and local law anyway.  WTF was wrong with the Dallas police?  I guess they were just emotional and upset, but still.

Also I find Jackie's comments very interesting.  She repeated at least twice, maybe three times, that she was leaving the blood on her clothes so "they can see what they did".  Not "he" but "they".  She almost certainly believed there was a conspiracy...I wonder who she thought did it, or even if it was specific.   

It would be very interesting to know what she thought....but I have always heard that she and the Kennedys have always kept such speculation close to the vest.  I am probably pretty sure they have no better idea than anyone else, but it would be very interesting to see who THEY thought did it, was it actually a lone gunman, etc, and no opinion more interesting than Jackie's.

They say she married Aristotle Onasis afterwards because he was very powerful and she felt he could protect her...what from, who knows.
