Read the following newspaper article and translate it The Kennedy assassination “Where were you when you heard that YY President Kennedy had been shot?” This is a question that most people who were alive at the time can answer. It is one of those moments that they can remember clearly, and will, never forget. On the morning of November 22, 1963, the President of the United States of America, John F. Kennedy, arrived in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Jacqueline, on an official visit. It was a beautiful sunny day. At 11.50 am they left the airport at Love Field, and crowds stood along the streets of Dallas to watch the open-topped* presidential car go past. They waved and shouted their good wishes to the young president and his lovely wife, while millions more watched on television. In the same car were John Connally, Governor* of Texas, his wife, Nellie, and two Secret Service men. 'You can't say Dallas doesn't love you,' Mrs Connally told the Kennedys, as they listened to the shouts and saw the smiling faces. At 12.30 the car turned from Houston Street into Elm Street. It was moving very slowly. One of the buildings which had a view over Elm Street was the Texas Book Depository*, a large building full of schoolbooks. Mr Kennedy was waving at the crowds when there was the sound of a gun shot*. The president's hand stopped moving and then, as a second shot was heard, went to his neck. There was a third (and perhaps a fourth) shot, and his head was suddenly covered in blood. John Connally, who had also been shot in the back by one of the bullets, fell to the floor of the car. The car immediately raced away* to Parkland Memorial Hospital, with Jacqueline Kennedy holding her husband's wounded* head in her arms. 'Oh my God, they killed my husband!' she cried. The cry was echoed through the crowd. They've killed the president!' And at one o'clock America and the rest of the world heard the news that President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was dead. Not long after the shooting, Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit saw a man behaving strangely, and stopped to speak to him. As Tippit got out of his car, the man pulled out a gun and shot the policeman in the head and stomach. Then he ran away. At 2.50 pm, 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested in a cinema for the murder of policeman Tippit. Detectives took him to Dallas police station to be questioned. Oswald said that he had not killed anyone, but a gun which had been found in the Texas Book Depository belonged to him. He was arrested again —this time for killing President Kennedy. Two days later, police decided to move Oswald from the city police building to another prison. He was handcuffed* to two detectives when he came out of the building, but nobody could guess what was going to happen next. Suddenly, a man pushed his way to the front of the crowd of reporters. There was a gun in his hand, and seconds later he had shot Oswald in. the side. 'He's been shot! Lee Oswald has been shot!' a TV newsman told the millions of people who were watching on television. The man with the gun was Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner and a friend of local criminals. Later he would say that he shot Oswald because he wanted to save Jacqueline Kennedy from the problems and worry of a long and painful* trial. After his own trial, he was sent to prison for life, and died there in 1967. Oswald died only a few hours after Jack Ruby shot him. On November 25, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was buried in Arlington National Cemetery* in Washington. Jacqueline Kennedy stood with her two young children, Caroline and John, beside her, and with her husband's brothers, Robert and Edward Kennedy. At the beginning, almost all Americans accepted* that Lee Harvey Oswald was the single assassin*, but very soon questions were asked about the way things were supposed to have happened on that terrible day. The most important one was: how many shots were there? At first it was thought that three shots came from the sixth floor of the Texas Book Depository, where Oswald's gun was found. But some people doubted* this. How could Oswald shoot three times in less than the five-and-a-half seconds it took the president's car to pass, they asked? It took more than two seconds to put a bullet into that kind of gun. Then more than fifty witnesses said that they heard a fourth shot coming from a small grassy hill at the side of Elm Street, in front of the president's car. There were more questions. Did Lee Harvey Oswald assassinate the president, or was it somebody else? 'I never killed anybody!' he told the police, many times. Was he working for someone else? The government of Cuba, perhaps, who did not like Kennedy? Did the Mafia kill Kennedy? They certainly wanted him dead, because he was making life difficult for them. And so the questions go on, even today. Will they ever be answered, or will the assassination of President John F. Kennedy remain one of the biggest mysteries of the 20th century?
P.S. On June 5, 1968, just, after, his, brother's assassination, Robert Kennedy was shot dead at a meeting of the American Democratic Party in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. He, too, was hoping to become President of the USA, but 24-year-old Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian who was living in America, managed to get into the meeting hall and shot Robert Kennedy five times before anyone could stop him.
