This book was just unearthed from my Dad's storage building. I remember being fascinated by it as a child in the 70s. Can't bear to part with it though it's old and a bit crusty...

Last march, Diana Oughton and two other "Weatherman" revolutionaries were killed by an explosion in their New York City bomb factory. That news story made America shudder. But the story of how Diana, a wealthy and loving family girl, became a terrorist is even more troubling. How could it have happened? UPI reporters Lucinda Franks and Tom Powers spent almost a month unraveling the story of Diana from the time she was a child. They were assisted by Diana's family and friends. They visited cities were Diana had gone to school, worked and was active as a radical. Result? "The story of Diana - the making of a terrorist." This five-part series portraying Diana Oughton as the product and victim of American society is one of the most significant pieces of journalism of the past decade.

Friday, November 22, 1963. Coming upon the 50th Anniversary in 2013. This compilation of primary sources was published within weeks of President Kennedy's death by assassination. It is the work of journalists and heritage collectors -- United Press International and American Heritage Publishing.

The book has many black-and-white and a few color photographs. The first UPI news reports to hit the wire, and an article by a reporter who witnessed the assassination are included. Various accounts of events immediately surrounding the day are here, and full coverage of the president's funeral.

The funeral Eulogy by Reverend Philip Hannan quoted JFK's Inaugural, including these famous passages:

"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friends and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born to this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of their ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed today at home and around the world."

"The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need, not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out, 'rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation' -- a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself." [142]

I admit I was a Watergate junkie. This book records many of the details that brought the President down.
