When Lee Harvey Oswald shot John F. Kennedy, the crime ripped through lives far beyond the shooter and his victim. The Dallas Morning News, published within sight of the shooting, tells five short stories of lives forever changed:
There's the landlady, whose tenant forever changed her home; the police officer's widow, who lost her true love; the photographers, who both captured Oswald's murder on film and competed for the Pulitzer-winning photo; the lawyer, whose first criminal trial was for Jack Ruby; and the historian, who may always find new mysteries left behind by that day.
These short articles, which first appeared in The Dallas Morning News, add fresh details to a story that will forever fascinate America.
As a Dallas native, Michael Granberry has been particularly intrigued by JFK's assassination, primarily its effect on the psyche of his hometown. He was a 6th-grader in Dallas when the assassination occurred. Several classmates were the children of either key eyewitnesses or law enforcement officers whose involvement and/or testimony became critical.
Michael has worked in LA and Washingon, D.C. During his time at The News, he has profiled actresses Renee Zellweger and Morgan Fairchild, brother-actors Owen and Luke Wilson, playwright Beth Henley, CBS newsman Scott Pelley, hockey great Brett Hull and Dallas Cowboys Daryl Johnston and Dat Nguyen, who, at the time, was the only Vietnamese player in the National Football League.
