Timelines are always fun...Short and sweet...
11/22/63
Circa 4pm EST
Yale blue-blood (Skull & Bones '40) McGeorge Bundy calls AF1 from the White House Situation Room to inform LBJ that the lone assassin was in custody.
Circa 7pm EST
Yale blue-blood (Skull & Bones '13) W. Averell Harriman mets with Lyndon Johnson right after LBJ arrived at the White House, tells Johnson that the US government's top Soviet hands are unanimous in their conviction that the Soviets had nothing to do with it. Harriman's biography makes no reference to any meetings Harriman had with "top Kremlinologists," only that Harriman was helping George Ball run the government that afternoon.
Circa 8 pm EST
Yale blue-blood (Scroll & Key '26) Jock Whitney dashes into his office at the New York Herald Tribune to write an editorial for the morning edition denouncing Oswald as a "crazed individual" who acted out of "homicidal fantasies."
11/23/63
"[We] decided that if Oswald was the killer, and if the U.S. government were innocent of any complicity in the assassination, Oswald would live through the weekend. But if he was killed, then we would know that the assassination was a consequence of a high level U.S. government plot. Harold Feldman and I also concluded that if Oswald was killed by a Jew, it would indicate a high level WASP plot."
-- Vincent Salandria, on the conversation he had with his "then brother-in-law Harold Feldman."
Did the private-citizen investigation into the Kennedy assassination reach it's greatest insight the day after?
