    He loved the kids. He loved Macaroni the pony. I think he liked that idea because it created a certain thing he could manipulate and use. The inner Jack Kennedy was far less romantic and far tougher. Some of the folks were there in Dallas at the day that the assassination happened, but others were instead involved in Jim Garrison's investigation against Clay Shaw or just reflect on the overall Presidency and legacy of JFK and of their own experiences during that time.

    His numerous affairs with women, his affliction from Addison's disease and his multiple back surgeries. He often had to wear crutches, and apparently one foot was longer than the other and he wore special shoes to correct the height difference. Moreover, his domestic agenda that included civil rights was stalled in Congress and he himself was somewhat lukewarm to civil rights if it was not for his brother, Bobby Kennedy. I do not see these flaws as diminishing the legacy of JFK — as it is often the case, it is best to consider the perfections and imperfections of a person, even those of our most popular leaders.

    After his death, Lyndon Baines Johnson would continue the work on the Civil Rights Act, which he would later be able to pass into law. The other stories that stood out were the ones of the man behind the rifle, Lee Harvey Oswald.

    Although he is not the focus of the book, the impressions of him given sprinkled in the narratives are oddly contradictory. If there were a multitude of perspectives on JFK, the President, the man and the myth, then the same can also be said of his assassin. Oct 15, Doug Tabner rated it liked it. This could have easily rated 5 stars. The beginning gives voice to people you usually don't hear from; Ruth Paine, with whom Marina was living.

    The "smaller" players in the tragedy. Those were highly fascinating.

    Then it moves on to more famous personalities This could have easily rated 5 stars. Then it moves on to more famous personalities, people who were either close to Kennedy or were higher ups in the government. Again, fascinating. But then we move on to the section labelled, generously, "Culture. But others had nothing to do with the assassination and never knew JFK. I like Robert DeNiro, but his space in this book was completely irrelevant. I don't care what Jane Fonda thinks about anything at all, let alone something of such historical significance as JFK's murder.

    Same with Chris Matthews though he was in an earlier section. Oliver Stone's contribution was, unsurprisingly nothing but a long rant about conspiracies. I don't recommend giving up on books half way through, and I stuck with this until the bitter end. Having said that,I couldn't blame anyone who read the first half of this and then put it down and started their next book.

    I have a terrible weakness for books or almost anything on the JFK assassination. This book gathers 50 perspectives based on the premise that everyone remembers 'where they were' when they heard that Kennedy had been shot. The first section and my favorite--the only one I would recommend was Dallas. We hear reflections from: Buell Frazier who drove Oswald to work at the book depository on November Marie Tippets, the wife of Officer Tippets who was also shot and killed by Oswald. Robert I have a terrible weakness for books or almost anything on the JFK assassination.

    Ray Hawkins who became suspicious of Oswald and followed him into the Texas theater and alerted police. Ruth Haynie who was friends and with Oswald's wife at the time of the shooting. All of these were important stories with key details I did not know.

    My least favorite sections were the political and controversial sections. They lose steam, become long, boring and repetitive. My motivation to read was just the desire to finish it. Most of those profiled summed up Kennedy as charismatic. A good President, but not a great one, and that the high point was his handling of the Cuban missile crisis.

    They speculate he would have ended the Vietnam war sooner. Most also assert that Oswald acted alone and this moment in history was a 'loss of innocence' for the country. Kennedy was assassinated. For decades after, people would ask each other: "Where were you? And the answers are fascinating!
