"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on." -- JFK, 1961

60 years ago, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by sniper bullets on November 22, 1963.

Six decades later, the CIA and FBI still won't release all their documents on the assassination. Why? That's the great unknown ...

At the Delaware Art Museum in 2004, I asked President Biden (then a Senator) about JFK:

"Senator, do you think President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy?" (from a legal perspective, this question asks if more than one person was involved).

Senator Biden replied, "No."

I then asked: "So do you believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK, alone and unaided?" (Oswald was the accused assassin.)

Senator Biden replied, "Yes."

Others may disagree with Biden's view. But if that is what President Biden still believes, it is curious, then, that his administration currently withholds some 3,000 CIA and FBI classified documents related to the JFK assassination, 60 years later.

However, the lack of transparency around President Kennedy's murder has been a continuous secrecy problem for decades. Presidents Trump and Obama also withheld JFK records at the request of the intelligence agencies.

In the end, JFK's hopeful message and peaceful ideology - backed by his strength of resolve and sharp wit - continues to inspire.

"The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society." -- JFK, 1961

David Talbot, author of bestselling JFK books Brothers and The Devil's Chessboard, wrote this article about the 60th anniversary, and how sunlight is creeping through the cracks in the wall of JFK secrecy:

The answer is yes. Read the twisted tale of a man who unintentionally bought only half of a house, because he thought he'd save a few bucks by skipping title insurance. Don't be that person.

I recently read an article in the Real Estate section about what buyers should know before closing. The article, however, did not deal with the question of title insurance for the buyer, as opposed to...

"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came." -- President John F. Kennedy, 1962.

Everyone dislikes attorneys - until they need one. So here is your chance to like me now, early, before you need me, & liking me is no longer an option.

Curry favor early, my friend. It may even get you the "friends and family" discount rate, when you need it the most.
