[AGL] the ghosts of Austin

[Donna Bobb]

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to put my two cents worth in on this
given all the media coverage; good, bad, and nostalgic. 1960s comes to mind
with another controversial presidency.
This time a Russian soldier darts from the Dallas library and a Chinese
national is standing on the grassy knoll.  The absentee owners are the
conspirators gathering at a single location to plot the evil deed.
Something only LBJ would appreciate...because you know how ambitious the
Vice Presidents can be...lol
