Event Details

A page from a manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz, based on context) recounting his time as a Supreme Court clerk for Justice Arthur Goldberg during the JFK assassination in 1963. The text details the moment the court learned of the shooting, the narrator driving Goldberg to the White House to advise LBJ, a tense encounter with a guard over a toy gun, and Goldberg's private explanation of the political motivations behind the formation of the Warren Commission. The document suggests LBJ believed in a conspiracy but used the commission to push the 'lone gunman' theory for national security reasons.
