Forty-one years ago, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States under the Constitution, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. The subsequent investigation (Warren Commission) resulted in the lone-gunmen theory, a theory that prescribed Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing. However, in the late 1970s, an official investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Kennedy "was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy," contradicting the Warren Commission's findings. New evidence in the form of a digital model, presented by ABC News, conclusively finds that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only person who could have fired a rifle that infamous day. ABC News does not make any determination as to whether or not Oswald received any help, financially or logistically, in the assassination plot to kill the president.

Additionally, the Beatles released their first album in England this day in 1963 (the same day JFK was assassinated), titled "With the Beatles." When the album finally reached American shores, the album was re-tooled for American audiences and titled, "Meet the Beatles." Moreover, five years later, on November 22, 1968, thirty-six years ago, the Beatles released their self-titled album, "The Beatles," better referred to as the "White Album."
