Pot-Shots From The Grassy Knoll

Here are three brief biographies taken from Wikipedia Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 189822 November 1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis was an Irish author and scholar, born into a Protestant family in Belfast, though mostly resident in England. Lewis is known for his work on medieval literature, for his Christian apologetics and for his fiction, especially the children’s series entitled The Chronicles of Narnia and his science fiction Space Trilogy. He was also the leading figure in an Oxford literary group called the Inklings. Aldous Leonard Huxley (July 26, 1894November 22, 1963) was a British writer who emigrated to the United States. He was a member of the famous Huxley family who produced a number of brilliant scientific minds. Best known for his novels and wide-ranging output of essays, he also published short stories, poetry, travel writing, and film stories and scripts. Through his novels and essays Huxley functioned as an examiner and sometimes critic of social mores, societal norms and ideals, and possible misapplications of science in human life. While his earlier concerns might be called "humanist," ultimately, he became quite interested in "spiritual" subjects like parapsychology and mystically based philosophy, which he also wrote about. By the end of his life, Huxley was considered, in certain circles, a 'leader of modern thought' John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917November 22, 1963), often referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK, or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. A member of the prominent Kennedy political family, he is considered an icon of American liberalism. During World War II, he served as a naval lieutenant in the Pacific theatre and was cited for exceptional bravery for the rescue of his men. Kennedy is the youngest person ever to have been elected president of the United States, at the age of 43. (Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest ever to serve as President of the United States, following President McKinley's assasination.) As we all know, countless conspiracy theories have been advanced in relation to the death of President Kennedy, and I'm an avid fan (and believer) in all of them, even when they are mad and mutually exclusive. But, my Dear Watson, observe the date of death of each of the above-named. Coincidence? I think not. It seems perfectly obvious to me that someone, some shadowy figure, for who knows what insane reason, was killing prominent literary figures AND USED THE PRESIDENT'S MURDER AS A SMOKESCREEN to cover their dastardly deeds. The death certificates of Messrs Lewis and Huxley may well have recorded 'natural causes' or some other such fatuous lie. But while everyone was rushing about trying to find out who killed Jack, and then blaming it all on poor wee innocent Lee, nobody paid the slightest bit of attention to the screamingly obvious and virtually simultaneous homicides of these prominent men of letters. Some parts of my theory need to be fleshed out a bit, but this matter should be investigated by the appropriate authorities post haste. I am passing my dossier (ie a copy of the above) to the Dallas Cowboys immediately.
