Headlines Du Jour ► Friday, November 22, 2013

It was the Headline Du Jour around the world 50 years ago. On this day President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The last words the president heard came from the Nellie Connally, wife of Texas Governor John Connally. 

“Mr. President, you can’t say that Dallas doesn’t love you!” 

Kennedy replied, “That is very obvious.” 

These were JFK’s last words as the first gunshot rang out mere seconds later.
