60: Assassination





(Before the Shooting)



(Bill and Gayle Newman shielding their children after hearing shots and dropping to the grass. The grassy knoll and its picket fence are visible in the background.)



(Cecil Stoughton's photograph of Lyndon B. Johnson being sworn in as President as Air Force One prepares to depart Love Field in Dallas. Jacqueline Kennedy, still in her blood-spattered clothes (not visible here), looks on.)



(Robert H. Jackson's photograph of Jack Ruby shooting Oswald, who was being escorted by police detective Jim Leavelle (tan suit) for the transfer from the city jail to the county jail. Ruby died in prison in 1967.)



(Jackie Kennedy stands in all black at the funeral of her husband, President John Kennedy. Their son, John, who was three at the time saluted his father.)
