Dr. Jack Gordon '72 returned to the Hill on November 4 to speak to a crowd of eager students on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Dr. Jack Gordon has lectured on the two Kennedy assassinations and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King for over 25 years, and has been a consultant for PBS, NOVA and 20/20. This month marks the 40th anniversary of the death of JFK, and Gordon said that many documentaries and specials will revisit the event. Gordon pointed out, however, that these major news sources will continue to endorse the Warren Commission's lone assassin theory, as they have since the report was issued 39 years ago, despite significant evidence to refute the findings of the commission.
