CNN: More than 50 years of theories: JFK file release imminent
Washington (CNN)President John F. Kennedy's death gave birth to decades of competing theories -- and a mountain of government paperwork.

Almost as good as Trump releasing his tax returns.
We so want the life and death of JFK to mean more. It works against the grain of our sense of story-in-history to have his life ended by a solo actor working for his own deranged purposes that we create fictions and conspiracies where there are none. Maybe it is from watching too many movies where everything is scripted and our favorite actor is always alive in the last scene or novels where the protagonist finishes his monologue in the final chapter, but we cannot abide things cut short and meaningless. "Shit happens" may be a bumper sticker, but it is not how people live.
