Uh, For You People That Live At 2200 Thomas Pl., We Apologize



I finally got around to reading the Star-Telegram's commemorative edition of stories about the JFK assassination and remarked to Mrs. LL that most of the time anyone who was interviewed had their actual address printed. And I'm not talking about witnesses, I mean just the "man on the street" interview. And if the media would do that back then, they certainly would print the address of those who are the center of the current news.

And then I came across this retraction.

The whole newspaper is fascinating. There are so many gems like Dallas D.A. Henry Wade saying about Oswald after his arrest, "We will ask the jury to electrocute him." And that was less than 24 hours after the shooting.
