My first reaction to visiting Dealy Plaza was how small of an area such a big place in history occupied. When the bullets struck JFK, the car carrying LBJ was just a few feet behind, and well within the kill zone. That factor makes it difficult for me to believe LBJ was the mastermind, without seeking other factors as well. When LBJ saw JFK murdered in such a brutal manner, I have to wonder how safe he felt taking over the office of POTUS. If in fact LBJ was involved in a cover up of the true facts of the assassination, as some believe, I would wonder if witnessing the event may have prompted his actions. I am not trying to disagree with Professor Fetzer, who I respect as a long time researcher, but I have trouble believing LBJ had that much power.
