What I remember of the Kennedy assassination , besides the shock and sense of loss, is that the powers that be released very little information and stuck to there simplistic story. I never heard any plausible motive other than laying it on a wacko Communist. Even the Warren Commission, which the public awaited for answers, released little and locked the records for years to come. The public were treated like mushrooms and so lots of conspiracy theories came out, even accusing LB Johnson and Texas oilmen of orchestrating it with Oswald working for the CIA. This subsequent distrust was probably one of the reasons for the 60's youth rebellion.
