The
50 daily www.delphosherald.com Herald staff reports news@delphosherald.com Today marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America. To some born in more recent years, JFK himself is a figure from American history, a tragedy not much more contemporary than the deaths of Presidents McKinley and Lincoln. Even the grainy film footage and live coverage of Dallas Dealey Plaza, themselves groundbreaking as far as media coverage, are considered the stuff of textbooks. But most Americans who were at work, at school or even of preschool age on Nov. 22, 1963, remember exactly where they were when JFK died. To remember and help those who were not there know what this tragedy meant to our country and how news delivery itself has changed, the editorial staff of the The Delphos Herald approached local individuals and asked, How did you find out about the assassination of JFK?

JFK assassination: Enduring conspiracy theories

The Associated Press Fifty years later, were still suspicious. A Gallup poll released this month finds that more than 60 percent of Americans believe others besides Lee Harvey Oswald were involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Over the years, more than 200 people and three dozen groups have been accused of being involved in Kennedys assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, author Vincent Bugliosi recently told CNN. So its understandable that conspiracy theories of all degrees of plausibility have gained and lost popularity in that time. Theres a strong tradition in this country of cultures of conspiracy, said Edward Linenthal, a history professor at Indiana University. Very often, major events for some people are never quite what they seem. Whatever it happens to be, I think behind the surface appearance, theres always some more interesting forces at work. In the case of Kennedys assassination, Linenthal said the magnitude of the event the murder of the most powerful man in the world and one of the countrys most popular presidents immediately led doubters to look for alternate explanations. The results of what (Oswald) did were so immense I think thats part of it, as well, said Linenthal, who also works as a consultant for the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas. The idea that a huge, transformative event like this couldnt have been carried out by one nobbish little man I think that carries weight with a lot of people.

Official attempts to settle doubts about the assassination beginning with the Warren Commission report in September 1964, which concluded that Oswald acted alone have only fueled alternate versions of history. Answers to many lingering questions may lie in classified CIA documents related to the assassination that are due to be released in 2017. For many, though, the circumstances of Kennedys death will likely remain shrouded in mystery. See THEORIES, page 10

Psychic Sylvia Browne The Delphos dies at 77 in California Herald

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Sylvia Browne once said she was just 3 when she discovered she could look into the future and know what was coming. For the next 74 years, Browne claimed to do just that, predicting who would win elections, which celebrities would be getting married, splitting up or having babies, and whether people who had disappeared were alive or dead. Sometimes she got it right and sometimes not. Among the predictions that misfired was one she made to talk-show host Larry King in 2003 that she would live to be 88. Browne was 77 when she died Wednesday at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose. The cause of death was not disclosed. One of the most well-known psychics of her generation, Browne often appeared on The Montel Williams Show and in interviews with King. She wrote dozens of books, including several best-sellers, and she sometimes offered her services to the FBI and police agencies. Over the years she said she mingled with angels and ghosts, twice traveled through the tunnel of light during near-death experiences, and came face-to-face with extraterrestrials. They look like us but their eyes are really strange because theyre reflective, Browne, speaking in her distinctive, raspy voice, once told Williams audience. She also believed in reincarnation, telling King that people keep coming back to Earth in new lives until they get it right. In a statement posted on her website, Williams indicated his belief that she made the cut this time. A beacon that shined for so many was extinguished today, but its brightness was relit and will now shine forever for many of us from above, he said. Browne said she discovered her psychic ability as a preschooler in her native Kansas City, Mo., For many years, it was something she shared only with friends and family. She eventually began giving readings to others and, 10 years after moving to California in 1964, she formed the Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research. Among the predictions she cited over the years as coming true were that Arnold Schwarzenegger would go into politics (made 11 years before the Terminator actor was elected Californias governor) and that Madonna would have a second child but not by the father of her first one. A year before Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 she predicted the United States would have its first black president within eight years. A vision misfired badly when she told the parents of Shawn Hornbeck in 2002 that the 11-year-old Missouri boy was dead after he disappeared while riding his bike. Police found him four years later living with his abductor.

Attacks around US probed for link to knockout game

NEW YORK (AP) In New York, a 78-year-old woman strolling in her neighborhood was punched in the head by a stranger and tumbled to the ground. In Washington, a 32-year-old woman was swarmed by teenagers on bikes, and one clocked her in the face. In Jersey City, a 46-year-old man died after someone sucker-punched him and he struck his head on an iron fence. In each case, police are investigating whether the attacks are part of a violent game called knockout, where the object is to target unsuspecting pedestrians with the intention of knocking them out cold with one

punch. Authorities and psychologists say the concept has been around for decades or longer and its played mostly by impulsive teenage boys looking to impress their friends. Its hard to excuse this behavior, theres no purpose to this, said Jeffrey Butts, a psychologist specializing in juvenile delinquency at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. When someone runs into a store and demands money, you can sort of understand why theyre doing it, desperation, whatever. But just hitting someone for the sheer thrill of seeing if you can knock someone out is just childish.

Today is Friday, Nov. 22, the 326th day of 2013. There are 39 days left in the year. Todays Highlight in History: On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F.

On this date: In 1718, English pirate Edward Teach better known as Blackbeard was killed during a battle off present-day North Carolina. In 1862, Giuseppe Verdis opera La Forza del Destino had its world premiere in St. Petersburg, Russia. In 1928, Bolero by Maurice Ravel was first performed, in Paris. In 1930, listeners of the British Broadcasting Corp. heard, for the first time, radio coverage of an American college football game as Harvard defeated Yale, 13-0. In 1935, a flying boat, the China Clipper, took off from Alameda, Calif., carrying more than 100,000 pieces of mail on the first trans-Pacific airmail flight. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek (chang ky-shehk) met in Cairo to discuss measures for defeating Japan.

Report: Ohio failed to return tax overpayments

2014 Rib Fest entertainment announced

Information submitted VAN WERT Following a very successful 2013 Rib Fest, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Rib Fest organizing committee has been hard at work making plans for the 8th annual Rib Fest to be held Aug. 8-9 next year. The committee decided to move the Rib Fest forward one week in order to take advantage of the visitors coming to the annual Highway 127 Yard Sale and the Lincoln Highway Yard Sale. In 2014, the two sales will happen on the same weekend bringing a great many shoppers to our area. The Rib Fest has benefited each year by the people passing through Van Wert along the Highway 127 sale route, said Larry Lee, CVB Director. Weve talked to many people at the Rib Fest who tell us they were just passing by the Fairground following the yard sale path, saw the crowd, smelled the ribs and decided to stop. Some of these people even end up spending overnight in Van Wert. The Rib Fest committee was so pleased with the turnout at the last event, they voted to bring a big-time entertainment to the Friday night event as well as the usual Saturday nigh event. The crowd really showed their appreciation for The Earthquakers who were last years Saturday night band! So we decided to bring them back for Friday night next year, Lee said. The Earthquaker are a four-man band from Erie, Penn., who have a sizeable following in western Ohio. New to the Van Wert Rib Fest, but well-known in the area, Nashville Crush, will be the headline band for Saturday night. This seven-member band is a fusion of country and rock provided by some of the best musicians in the business. They put on a fantastic show, Lee said. And people who admit they dont like country think this group is great. Additional area bands will be signed to play before and after each of the headline bands Lee would like to remind anyone working on class reunion plans for next summer, that the Rib Fest is a great place to hold your reunion. Classmates will have a great

STATE/LOCAL

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio wrongfully failed to return more than $30 million in business tax refunds to companies that properly requested the money, the state watchdog said in a report released Thursday. The Ohio Inspector General found that $34 million in requested refunds dating back several years were placed on pending status and therefore not paid out, according to the report, which said the practice violates Ohio tax law and dates to at least 1999. That doesnt include interest required to be paid on refunds. For years, the Ohio Department of Taxation has ignored the fact that they are holding taxpayer money that doesnt belong to the state, Inspector General Randy Meyer said in a statement. The majority of money involved the corporate franchise tax, a former business tax that has now largely been replaced by Ohios commercial activities tax. It also included sales and uses taxes and employers withholding taxes. The issue was identified in 2009 and about $20 million was returned, said tax commissioner Joe Testa. He said the amount remaining to be refunded is now about $9 million. The department had an obligation to return those overpayments, Testa said Thursday. If they actually request the refund, then they are owed that, Testa said. There is no discretion on the part of the tax department at that point. The money represents a fraction of the $28 billion in tax revenue Ohio is expected to collect this year. Thursdays report also said the practice of the Department of Taxation was not to inform taxpayers of any overpayments. Last year, as the investigation was underway, the agency said it would begin alerting businesses when theyve unknowingly overpaid taxes and help them reclaim their money. At the time of the announcement in December, Gov. John Kasich and Testa said the state would begin notifying about 3,500 taxpayers who may have overpaid by a total of up to $13.7 million.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The state auditor cited Republican Gov. John Kasichs signature job creation office on Thursday for sloppy handling of ethics and conflict-of-interest procedures in its first year but cleared its staff of the business conflict questions that have dogged it. The formal review by Republican Auditor Dave Yost followed his high-profile fight for access to JobsOhios private financial accounts. The audit found eight procedural deficiencies at JobsOhio, a private nonprofit development corporation, during its first year of operation. JobsOhio, which began operating in 2011, said all the processes have been addressed since then, many of them voluntarily identified and remedied. The audits relatively benign findings after two years of wrangling over JobsOhios activities angered the offices many vocal critics, mainly the liberal think tank ProgressOhio and Ohio Democrats. This is not an audit; this is a whitewash, said state Rep. John Patrick Carney, Yosts 2014 Democratic challenger. They made no attempt to see that money was properly spent. selection of food, outstanding entertainment and a great time at the Rib Fest. Special reunion packages are available.

Youth white-tailed deer hunting season starts Saturday GEORGE KNIPPEN

Information submitted PUTNAM COUNTY Ohios young hunters have the opportunity to pursue white-tailed deer during the states 11th annual youth white-tailed deer hunting season on Saturday and Sunday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The youth deer-gun season is open statewide to hunters holding a valid youth hunting license and a deer permit. Deer can be hunted with a plugged shotgun using slugs, a muzzleloader .38 caliber or larger, a handgun .357 caliber or larger and bows during these two days. Youth hunters checked 9,178 deer in 2012 and at least 8,300 deer in the two-day season every year since 2005. New this year, hunting time is extended 30 minutes for all deer seasons, including the youth deer season. Deer can be hunted from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. All participants must wear hunter orange, possess a valid Ohio youth hunting license as well as a deer permit and they must be accompanied in the field by a nonhunting adult. One adult may accompany no more than two youth hunters. Youth hunters can commemorate their achievement with a First Harvest certificate, available atwildohio. com. Parents can upload a photo and type in the hunters information to personalize the certificate. Hunters can also share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online. Deer bag limits are now determined by county. The statewide bag limit is nine deer, but a hunter cannot exceed a county limit. Hunters may take only one antlered deer, regardless of hunting method or season. A deer permit is required in addition to a valid Ohio hunting license. Hunters must purchase an additional permit to hunt more than one deer. A new tagging procedure administered by the ODNR Division of Wildlife requires hunters to make their own game tag to attach to a deer. Game tags can be made of any material (cardboard, plastic, paper, etc.) as long as it contains the hunters name, date, time and county of the kill. Go to the Deer Hunting Resources page at wildohio. com for more information on changes to the game check process. All other regularly-scheduled hunting seasons will continue during the two-day youth deer season. All hunters (except waterfowl hunters) are required to wear hunter orange during this time. More information can be found in the 2013-14 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations and atwildohio.com. Youth hunters are encouraged to hunt more antlerless deer in some areas of Ohio this season to help the needy in their area. The ODNR Division of Wildlife is working with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay for the processing of donated venison. Hunters who donate their deer to a food bank are not required to pay the processing cost as long as funding for the effort lasts. More information about this program can be found online at fhfh.org. Deer hunting in Ohio continues to be a popular activity for many who enjoy the outdoors. Ohio hunters checked 218,910 deer during the 2012-2013 season. Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more, according to the National Shooting Sports www.edwardjones.com Foundations Hunting in America: An Economic Force for Conservation publication.

4 The Herald

The Rev. Billy Graham has been worried about the state of Americas soul for a long, long time. So it wasnt surprising that -- when preaching what could be his final sermon -- the 95-year-old evangelist looked straight into the camera and talked about sin and tears, repentance and salvation. And the cross. Our countrys in great need of a spiritual awakening. There have been times when Ive wept as Ive gone from city to city and Ive seen how far people have wandered from God, said Graham, in a message recorded in his North Carolina mountain home. I want to tell people about the meaning of the cross. Not the cross that hangs on the wall or around someones neck, but the real cross of Christ. Its scarred and bloodstained. His was a rugged cross. I know that many will react to this message, but it is the truth. And with all my heart, I want to leave you with the truth. Simply called The Cross, the 30-minute documentary premiered on Fox News, as well as in churches nationwide. It included footage of Graham with leaders ranging from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to Pope John Paul II, from Johnny Carson to Johnny Cash. Graham has met with every

Classic Billy Graham at age 95, one more time

U.S. president since Harry Truman and the video included John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. The video was also shown at a recent 95th birthday party for Graham in Asheville, N.C., that drew many prominent, and in some cases decidedly non-evangelical, conservatives -- including Donald Trump, Greta Van Susteren and Rupert Murdoch. In his introduction, the Rev. Franklin Graham told viewers that his fathers message could change your life and change the direction of this nation. It would be hard, however, for critics to find any national politics in this message from the elderly Graham, said sociologist William Martin, author of A Prophet With Honor: The Billy Graham Story. In particular, there were no echoes of the 2012 advertisements in which the elder Graham was quoted as saying: As

I approach my 94th birthday, I realize this election could be my last. ... I urge you to vote for those who protect the sanctity of life and support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman. Instead, this video offered classic Billy, said Martin, reached by telephone. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that at the heart of his preaching there has always been a message that this country is in pretty bad shape. That isnt something he started saying just the other day, he said. I doubt there was anything new at all in this video and, from my point of view, thats a good thing. Nevertheless, Graham repeatedly told viewers that he knew some of his words would be offensive. We deserve the cross. We deserve hell. We deserve judgment and all that that means, he said. I know that there are many people who dispute that. People dont want to hear that they are sinners. To many people its an offense. The cross is offensive because it directly confronts to evil that dominates so much of this world. ... One reason that the cross is an offense to people is because it demands. It doesnt suggest, it demands -- a new lifestyle in ALL of us. Throughout the video, the voice of the

frail preacher was mixed with the soaring cadences of the evangelist in the prime of life, his words rushing toward the moment when he urged seekers to come forward and make professions of faith. But this time, the sermon ended with the elderly Graham quietly speaking words he has said in thousands of sermons, to millions of listeners, around the world: There is no other way of salvation except through the cross of Christ. Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man cometh to the Father except by me. Yes, the words were familiar, said Martin, but it was hard not be affected by the sobering images of the white-haired evangelical patriarch working so hard to share this message one more time. Thats Billy Graham and this is what he has believed his whole life, said the sociologist. Its like he was saying, This is the old, old story and Im going to tell it to you one more time.

COLUMBUS As he strolled to the locker room on Wednesday night after Ohio States chilly outdoor practice, Urban Meyer reflected on the speculation going on outside the team offices among Buckeyes fans about the BCS, bowl games and rankings. Fans get to have some fun, the second-year Ohio State coach said. Thats what makes college football so neat right now. Buckeyes fans could not disagree more. This is not fun. Theyre riddled with angst and anguish these days because their favorite team is stuck in third place in the BCS, Baylor is charging fast from behind and there seems to be no good alternative to another bowl season of thinking what might have been. Callers to sports-talk radio and those clicking on Ohio State booster websites cant figure out what the Buckeyes have done wrong. Ever since Meyer took over, theyve won every game 22 in a row, the longest streak in the nation. And still it doesnt look as if the Buckeyes can elbow their way into the BCS title game ahead of top-ranked defending champion Alabama or No. 2 Florida State. The fans emotions are jumbled. Some are angry, most are frustrated. But its not as if theyre marching through the streets of this white-collar city carrying pitch forks and torches. A year after NCAA sanctions prevented the Buckeyes from putting their unbeaten team on display in a major bowl game, almost all of the Ohio State faithful have grown comfortable with their team

Buckeyes fans struggle with OSUs BCS plight Crestview storms from behind to take out Lady Green in Tip-Off opener
By RUSTY MILLER Associated Press being left behind again in the race for the national championship. Most people Ive talked with have kind of resigned themselves to (the fact) its not in this teams hands and thats the stark reality they have to face, said WBNS radios Paul Keels, the play-byplay voice of the Buckeyes and host of Meyers weekly coaches call-in show. What they can cling to is the hope that this team goes unbeaten, wins the Big Ten championship and if they cant go to the BCS championship game, well, then you still have something else to brag about. It just seems as though theres been somewhat of a reluctant acceptance to the way the whole situation sits right now. Heading into Saturdays final home game against Indiana, the Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) have few chances to wow the BCS poll voters and computers. The final regular-season game is at The Big House against a Michigan (7-3, 3-3) team that has played poorly in recent weeks. Should the Buckeyes win those two games, theyll most likely meet 13th-ranked Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 7 in Indianapolis. The final BCS rankings come out the next day. Ohio State fans already have an ominous feeling how itll all end. If things turn out right, a trip to the Rose Bowl. But the Buckeyes would be playing there a few days before the national title is settled and the crystal football trophy is handed out. Its come to this in present day college football: A berth in the Granddaddy of all Bowls is seen as a bitter pill to have to swallow. Ohio States star quarterback Braxton Miller was asked if he had any advice for the teams most ardent fans the ones who buy only gray cars with a scarlet interior, or who name their kids Urban. Man, I have no idea. Because its not in our hands, he replied, smiling. He said about all anyone following the Buckeyes can hope for is that the team wins by a landslide in each of its games. Just make it look easy, he added. Maybe (the voters) will switch it up in the future. We hope for the best. Its not just the top two teams that worry Ohio State fans. Unbeaten Baylor has climbed into the No. 4 spot in the BCS rankings, right behind the Buckeyes. In the systems migraineinducing mathematics, the Buckeyes are 1.045 points behind Alabama and .792 points behind Florida State but only .0013 ahead of Baylor. I can tell you that this week, with Baylor on their heels, theres a little more anxiousness (for fans), said Matt McCoy, sports director at Columbus radio station WTVN, where he hosts Ohio State-centric shows. I got an email from a guy who wrote, Can you imagine if Ohio State gets passed over for the title game for Baylor? I cant remember exactly what he wrote after that but it was along the lines of, The world is officially ended. Theres also a subset of Ohio State fans who would be perfectly happy if the Buckeyes run the table, miss out on the national title game but end the season with winning streak and dignity intact. See OSU, page 7 By JOHN PARENT DHI Correspondent news@delphosherald.com VAN WERT The worst thing that could have happened to us was halftime. Thats the way Ottoville Lady Green head coach Dave Kleman summed up his teams season-opening loss to the Crestview Lady Knights on Thursday. Crestview stormed from behind to knock off Ottoville 45-39 in the first game of the McDonalds Tip-Off Tournament held at Van Wert High School. Ottovilles fullcourt man-to-man defense played havoc with Crestviews far more veteran lineup early on. The Lady Knights too often tried dribbling through the press only to turn the ball over and other times rushed ill-advised passes across the court passes that were easily picked off by Ottoville defenders. We just have to be consistent and just take care of the ball, remarked Crestview head coach Greg Rickard after the game. Youre going to have some turnovers but we just had silly turnovers, just passes that we, like, wheres that going-type things. The Lady Knights, who started four juniors and a sophomore, finally settled in and played with much more composure in the second quarter. Though the two teams battled to a relatively even second quarter, the Lady Green coasted into halftime with the game looking in hand at 28-19. There were turnovers but I was more concerned at halftime about our defensive end, added Rickard. We gave up 28 points in the first half and the problem was that so many of them were easy putbacks and loose balls and just east shots. (Halftime) gave Crestview a chance to regroup, noted Kleman. Theyre a very good veteran club. We knew wed have to play two good halves but we didnt have a very good second half. A combination of an increased intensity by the Lady Knights and, perhaps, some complacency on the part of the young Ottoville squad led to some sloppy Lady Green offense and Crestview took advantage. The Lady Knights forced four turnovers in the opening 2 1/2 minutes of the third quarter and shots that were falling in the first half for Ottoville were missing after halftime. The Lady Knights chipped away at the deficit and cut the lead to 28-25 when Kennis Mercer found Emily Bauer inside for the easy layin. Ottoville, meanwhile, didnt get its first point of the quarter until the 3:38 mark when Brooke Mangas got her defender in the air and stepped into a 15-foot jumper, drawing the foul and splitting a pair of free throws. The Lady Green, however, wouldnt score again until there were just 1.9 seconds to go in the period.

Hearing over; A-Rod decision likely in January

Associated Press

Victim 9 files abuse claim vs. Sandusky, Penn State

Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa. A young man who testified last year at Jerry Sanduskys child sexual abuse trial sued the former coach and Penn State on Thursday over what he said was nearly four years of sexual assault while in his early teens. The lawsuit by the man known as Victim 9 in criminal court records was filed in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court after talks with the university failed to reach a settlement. The lawsuit claims the boy, now 20 years old, would not have been victimized if university officials had properly handled other complaints about Sandusky. Penn State provided Sandusky the tools with which to ply the craft of a pedophile long after Sanduskys formal ties with the university were supposed to have been severed, the lawsuit read. Victim 9s lawyers wrote that it was the inviolable culture of financial and sporting success of Penn State football that made possible the horrific sexual abuse that forms the basis of this lawsuit. A university spokesman declined comment and a message left for a lawyer who has represented Sandusky in other civil litigation was not immediately returned. The young mans lawyers called him John Doe D and asked that his identity not be disclosed. The Associated Press does not generally publish the names of sexual abuse victims. Its now clear that Penn State enabled Sandusky to sexually abuse more than 20 other children before Sandusky preyed on this boy, wrote the plaintiffs lawyer, Stephen E. Raynes. Each of those tragic assaults provided Penn State with the opportunity to stop Sandusky, opportunities which Penn State squandered. We will learn through this lawsuit why that happened and what additional lessons Penn State should learn from this tragic episode in its history. The lawsuit claims that the university knew or should have known, after officials fielded complaints about Sandusky in 1998 and 2001, that children such as Victim 9 were endangered by Sanduskys predatory pedophilia. During testimony at Sanduskys trial in June 2012, Victim 9 said Sandusky began by fondling him and degenerated into forced oral sex before several instances of rape in Sanduskys State College home. The lawsuit said the abuse took place between summer 2005 and fall 2009, when he was 16 years old. He testified that his muffled screams went unheard by Sanduskys wife, Dottie, upstairs.

The lawsuit claims Sanduskys former boss, coach Joe Paterno, invited the boy and Sandusky to have lunch with him at Beaver Stadium and tour the stadium, despite the late coach being alerted years earlier to Sanduskys sexual assault of young boys. Each time Sandusky and John Doe D encountered Paterno, Paterno greeted Sandusky, endorsing Sanduskys favored status with Penn State, the lawsuit stated. Paterno was fired shortly after Sanduskys November 2011 arrest and died a few months later. A spokesman and lawyer for his family did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Victim 9s lawyers said he has suffered depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, flashbacks of abuse at Sanduskys hands, sleep disturbance and other problems. The lawsuit asserts an assault and battery claim against Sandusky. The university was sued for negligence and recklessness, tortious conduct, misrepresentation and infliction of emotional distress. See COLLEGE, page 7

In the interim, Crestview continued to exploit matchups at the rim. Bauer made another shot inside, drawing a foul in the process, but missed the free throw that would have cut the deficit to one. No matter: on the next Lady Knight possession, junior Lindsey Motycka was hacked on her way up and sank both free throws to knot the game at 29-29. Crestview then jumped out to its first lead of the game with under a minute to play in the third and extended the lead when Motycka broke ahead of the press and cruised to the bucket on an easy fast-break layup before Taylor Mangas ended the run with a jumper off the right block as time was about to expire. In the fourth, Ottoville re-established its style and regained its composure. They also recaptured the lead. Ottovilles defense forced three turnovers in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the final period and the Lady Knights compounded their problems by committing two fouls early. the Lady Green got buckets from Annie Lindeman and a pair of free throws from Brooke Mangas and opened up a 37-33 advantage with under five minutes to play. Once again, Crestview came from behind. They got rolling when Bauer found Motycka on a feed from the high post to the block, resulting in a basket at the rim. On the next Crestview possession, junior Mackenzie Riggenbach came up with an offensive rebound and drew a foul on her putback attempt. A pair of made free throws tied the score again, this time at 37-37. The Lady Knights were a step quicker to loose balls down the stretch, getting multiple shots on too many possessions late in the game. After missing the back end of her two shots from the line with under three minutes to play, Crestviews Motycka ran down her own rebound and cut to the hoop to complete an unorthodox 3-point play that put the Lady Knights up for good at 40-37. Crestview, I think, will one of the best teams in our area in Division IV, added Kleman. Theyre the team to beat in their league. An excellent coached team and a good group of kids. Motycka led the way for Crestview with 16 points and nine rebounds while Bauer added 15 on 7-of11 shooting. Mercer, who sealed the game with a pair of free throws late, added six points and five rebounds to go along with three assists. In the nightcap, host Van Wert bested Wayne Trace 59-50. That sets up a Saturday night schedule of Ottoville vs. Wayne Trace at 6 p.m. in the consolation contest, while the Lady Cougars and Lady Knights battled in the finals at approximately 7:30 p.m. See OPENER, page 7

Steve Addington to lead Phoenix Racing

Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. Steve Addingtons career will go full circle next season when he returns to his hometown to run a NASCAR team. Addington was hired Thursday to lead Phoenix Racing, the Spartanburg, S.C.based race team purchased by Harry Scott Jr. in September. Born and raised in Spartanburg, Addington left his hometown for Charlotte in 1998 to pursue a full-time job in NASCAR. Now 49, hell be commuting back and forth as the competition director for Phoenix Racing and crew chief of the No. 51 Chevrolet. I looked at this as a new opportunity to be part of building something, growing an organization and making a difference, Addington said. In talking to Harry, hes very committed building a quality race team and being involved in NASCAR for a long time. Its exciting to start fresh. Addington spent the last two seasons as crew chief for Tony Stewart but was let go earlier this week as the 3-time NASCAR champion snapped up Chad Johnston from Michael Waltrip Racing. Stewart told The Associated Press in an interview last week the crew chief change was results-driven but also indicated that as Stewart-Haas Racing expands from three teams to four next season, he needs strong communication within the organization. SHR had hired Rodney Childers from MWR in August to crew chief Kevin Harvick; Johnston and Childers worked side-by-side at MWR. The more pieces you add to the puzzle, the harder it is to put the puzzle together, Stewart said. When we had two crew chiefs and two drivers, it was at a certain level. And then the third team and now the fourth team. Now you have to make sure, instead of just getting two crew chiefs to communicate, now you have four. The equation gets more complicated. Addington reported Thursday hed not been given any clear reason for his dismissal, which came in an option year of his contract. Im kind of scratching my head on that, Addington told AP. I dont have any hard feelings or anything like that, I just dont have a real good idea of why the decision was made. Addington knew the performance of the No. 14 team was not up to par in the early part of the season in fact, all three teams at SHR struggled early but believed the team had turned a corner before Stewarts season-ending Aug. 5 injury in a sprint car crash. It was an option year and after the accident, I figured wed go on one more year, Addington explained. Its no secret we had our issues early in the season but after Charlotte, the 600, we really turned things around. We won at

5 stars who wont be playing at the World Cup

Associated Press PARIS They are some of soccers biggest names but they wont be playing at the World Cup next year. A look at five players whose absence will make the tournament in Brazil a lesser spectacle. ___ Z L A T A N IBRAHIMOVIC: There is no point watching the World Cup because Ibrahimovic wont be playing in it at least thats what he says. While the striker has always been his own biggest fan, he does have a point that the tournament will not be as exciting without him. The 32-year-old is in the best form of his career and has shown his full repertoire of spectacular goals: Martial arts-style volleys, overhead kicks from 30 yards, dipping shots from all angles. In the last calendar year, he has 47 goals for Paris Saint-Germain and Sweden including four hat tricks. He has also set many up with his clever flicks. GARETH BALE: The Wales winger will be hoping he doesnt follow in the footsteps of his illustrious countryman Ryan Giggs who won everything with Manchester United but never played in a World Cup. The 24-year-old Bale is starting to find his best form with Real Madrid following his world-record transfer from Tottenham this summer. Last season, he scored 21 league goals for Spurs and his combination of power, searing pace and an incredibly hard shot make him a nightmare to defend against. Defenders in Brazil will be thankful that they wont have to deal with him. R O B E R T LEWANDOWSKI: The Borussia Dortmund striker burst onto the scene in last seasons Champions League when he outshone Cristiano Ronaldo to score four goals against Real Madrid in the semifinals. The 25-year-old Pole has 63 goals in 110 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund and is widely recognized as one of the best forwards in Europe. He is crying out for a chance to showcase his strength but Poland had such a tough qualifying group that it ended up finishing fourth behind England, Ukraine and Montenegro. PETR CECH: With more than 100 international caps, the Chelsea player has long been established as one of the top goalkeepers in the world and has proved a veritable rock for his country. At last years European Championship, he kept the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals with a series of stunning saves against Portugal, until Ronaldo beat him with a

Dover and other than Sonoma, where we were running top-5 before a spin, and Kentucky, where we did struggle, wed really turned it around. Then came the accident,and we just dont know what could have come from the rest of the season. So I really dont know what happened there. SHR is bringing in Kurt Busch for a new fourth team and Addington left Busch and Penske Racing at the end of the 2011 season to crew chief Stewart when Stewart fired Darian Grubb following their championship season. Addington, a longtime Nationwide Series crew chief, has spent nine seasons at the Cup level. He was paired with Kyle Busch at Joe Gibbs Racing, Kurt Busch at Penske and Stewart the last two seasons. He has 20 Sprint Cup wins, 66 top-5s and 105 top-10 finishes. Now hell likely be paired with Justin Allgaier at Phoenix Racing. The team did not announce a driver Thursday but Addington made several references to Allgaier in an interview with AP; Allgaier drove four races in the No. 51 after Scott bought the team. Theres a lot of upside in the opportunity of working with a young driver and taking him through the experiences, teaching him what to expect and helping him learn, Addington added. Were going to have our bumps in the road but weve got realistic goals and well put in a lot of work. Were not afraid to put in the time and the work and were looking forward to the opportunity in front of us.

Browns Haden moves into elite cornerback class

By TOM WITHERS Associated Press BEREA The darkest days in Joe Hadens life lit his path to prominence. Suspended last year for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, Clevelands lock-down cornerback took a hard look at himself and knew he had to make changes. It was time to grow up. Get serious. When I got suspended, that really slowed me down and made me settle down, Haden said. The whole suspension thing got me to where I am now. Haden has moved into the elite class of NFL defensive backs. Coming off the best game of his career two interceptions, one for a touchdown return against Cincinnati Haden credited much of his personal turnaround with a dramatic lifestyle change, most notably his marriage last June to longtime girlfriend, Sarah. I think its mostly, honestly, the way Im living, said the affable Haden. Just me and my wife, I have a really good relationship with her. Were doing super well just relaxing all the time. Ive been studying the Bible a whole lot more and Im just really comfortable with myself and how my life is going, and honestly thats what really got me here. Its just football now, all football. And Haden is playing it better than ever. Haden On Sunday, he clamped down on Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green for the second time this season, holding him to just two catches for 7 yards. Week after week, Haden covers the other teams top receiver and hes done his job almost flawlessly. So far this season, hes matched up with six former Pro Bowl receivers and has limited the group, which includes Green, Detroits Calvin Johnson and Miamis Mike Wallace, to 17 receptions for 147 yards and zero touchdowns. With a laminated map of the Hawaiian Islands taped to the inside of his locker to give him motivation to make the Pro Bowl, he has become Haden Island. He embodies everything you want in a young corner, said Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton. Hes athletic, hes smart, hes tough and hes a very good person on top of that. Hadens maturity as a person and player has been noticeable to teammates as well as to teams preparing to face him. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be mindful of No. 23 when the Steelers (4-6) visit the Browns (4-6) on Sunday in a game that could knock the loser from the playoff race. Hes a guy right now thats playing at a really high level, Roethlisberger said on a conference call. He may be playing the best of any cornerback that weve seen all year. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin spoke in glowing terms about Haden, who burst onto the scene with six interceptions as a rookie in 2010. I dont believe any corner is playing better that we have faced, Tomlin said. Hes good on the line, hes good off the ball. Hes got great peripheral vision. He can feel receivers and look at the quarterback. Hes very difficult to trick because of those things. Hes just a very talented player whose experience is catching up with this talent. And the end result is hes one of the best at what he does. Its not that Haden was acting like a wild man before this season. He liked to have fun and his accessibility, good-natured attitude and genuine love for Cleveland endeared him to Browns fans. But his 4-game suspension for using Adderall last year changed the way some people viewed him. Haden sat out Weeks 2-5 and the Browns went 0-4 without their best defensive player. Unable to be around his teammates during the suspension, he went home to Maryland and stayed with his parents. As tough as that time was on him emotionally, the break gave him a chance to prioritize. He prayed. He came back determined to be a better man, a better player. Once he got engaged everything fell into place. I just knew it was about time, he said. It was the right girl, good girl, perfect. Just amazing. Honestly, just the way of life changed me. Thats the truth. Haden said Horton has made a huge impact on his on-field growth. Horton has been demanding, pushing Haden to raise his game. One of Hortons tools to goad Haden has been to compare him with Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson. Horton coached Peterson for two seasons. Hes definitely different than any coach I have ever had, Haden added. He does not really talk too much to me, he just always says little smart remarks about not doing what I should or if I am doing good, he will give me little comments. He mostly just lets me do me. Haden is doing it better than ever.

late goal. His reliability, stunning reflexes, strength coming out on corners and set pieces, mean that those who score against him truly earn it. Strikers will be happier that hes not around in Brazil. CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN: Major tournaments usually reveal a rising star: The 20-year-old Enzo Scifo for Belgium and Michael Laudrup for Denmark in 1986. Laudrup was 21 when he shone in Mexico, the same age as Christian Eriksen is now. His silky skill and quick-thinking brain has drawn comparisons to Laudrup and Eriksen is seen as the future of Danish soccer. However, being pitted in a qualifying group with Italy and the Czech Republic meant Denmark was always going to drop points and it failed to make the playoffs as one of the best second-place teams. Eriksen will never know if he could have emulated Laudrup.

They remember the lopsided losses in the national championship games after the 2006 and 2007 seasons the former to a Florida team coached by Meyer. Maybe sitting out the title game and holding on to the possibility that the Buckeyes might have won if invited is far better than going up against an Alabama team and possibly getting smoked. After all, the Buckeyes are 0-9 in bowl games against Southeastern Conference teams. One win in the 2011 Sugar Bowl against Arkansas was vacated due to NCAA viola-

MLB

tions. But theres always hope, right? Theres also the folks who say, Hey, at least were in the championship game. You can think back to 2002, when they went into that title game and were heavy underdogs, Keels replied, referring to a 31-24 double-overtime victory over Miami for the Big Tens most recent national title in football. They at least had the chance. But there are people who fall into that be careful of what you wish for category, too. BUCKEYES BUZZ: Coaches are hired to recruit and to win. Sometimes, along the way, they get

attached to the kids who are passing through their program. Such is the case with Meyer and the 18 seniors (plus redshirt junior Bradley Roby) who will be announced on Saturday, their final home game at Ohio Stadium. Not every senior class is good, Meyer said. Some of them, its time to go, its time to move on, to move on with their careers. The last two (senior classes) that weve had here have been not good but great. Of course, Meyer raved about last years seniors, too. He said they were the backbone that helped reinforce the turnaround from 6-7 in 2011 to 12-0 last season. the rare labor official who could draw genuine praise from the other side. At Weiners last public speaking engagement, a 25-minute meeting with baseball writers on the day of the All-Star game in July, he was confined to a wheelchair and unable to move his right side. Yet, he wanted to respond to questions about his illness and issues in the game and did so with the grace and humor he was known for throughout his life.

College

As Weiners health deteriorated this summer, a succession plan was put in place. Former big-league All-Star Tony Clark took over Thursday as acting executive director and is to be approved as Weiners successor when the unions board meets from Dec. 2-5 at La Jolla, Calif. Words cannot describe the love and affection that the players have for Michael, nor can they describe the level of

sadness we feel today, Clark wrote in a statement. Not only has the game lost one of its most important and influential leaders in this generation, all involved in the game have lost a true friend. Selig called Weiner a gentleman, a family man, and an extraordinarily talented professional who earned the trust of his membership and his peers. Our strong professional relationship was built on a foundation of respect and a

shared commitment to finding fair solutions for our industry. I appreciated Michaels tireless, thoughtful leadership of the players and his pivotal role in the prosperous state of baseball today, Selig wrote in a statement. Michael was a courageous human being and the final year of his remarkable life inspired so many people in our profession. Despite the often bitter relationship between the union and management, Weiner was

Six of the 45 counts for which Sandusky was convicted concerned Victim 9: two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors and endangering a childs welfare. Penn State announced last month it was paying nearly $60 million to settle abuse claims by 26 young men. Three former Penn State administrators currently await trial on charges they engaged in a criminal cover-up of complaints about Sandusky. Former president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley all deny the allegations. Sooners Stoops close to record win NORMAN, Okla. Some of the most successful coaches in college football history have led Oklahoma. Step off the elevators into the clublevel seating lounge at the Gaylord

Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and there are life-size photos of the three most famous - Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops. Now Stoops, in his 15th season at the Sooners helm, is set to pass Switzer as the winningest coach in Oklahoma history. A win for No. 22 Oklahoma (8-2, 5-2 Big 12 Conference) at Kansas State (6-4, 4-3) on Saturday would be No. 158 for Stoops. Its a milestone that Stoops claims he hasnt thought about at all. You can say that hes lying but why would I? Stoops asked. I havent picked up a paper since the week before the first game or looked at it. I watch national news and CNN isnt talking about it. I try to keep up with whats happening in the world. That kind of stuff has no place for me, just because its not what is important. Oklahoma has more 10-win seasons (34) than any other Football Bowl Subdivision program. Bud Wilkinson won 145 games from 1947-63. Barry Switzer passed Wilkinson, winning 157

games from 1973-88. Entering the season, Stoops average of 10.6 wins per year was tops among active FBS coaches with 10 or more years of experience. He is the only active coach at an FBS program to have taken his team to a bowl game in each of his first 14 seasons and that streak will be extended this season. He is 157-39 overall, an 80.1-percent winning clip. Stoops guided Oklahoma to a somewhat surprising national title in 2000, in just his second season. Stoops success came after a 5-year stretch during which the Sooners failed to post a winning record under Gary Gibbs (whose 6-year tenure ended in 1994), Howard Schnellenberger (1995) and John Blake (1996-1998). Stoops recorded his 150th career win in this seasons opener against Louisiana-Monroe, in his 187th game. He became the sixth-fastest to reach 150 wins at the FBS level a list topped by Switzer, who did so in 180 games.

to graduate from the Corps tough-asnails enlisted infantry training school in North Carolina, officials said Thursday. The three completed the 59-day course and met the same test standards as the men, said Marine Corps spokeswoman Capt. Geraldine Carey. The course includes a grueling 12-mile march with an 80-pound pack and a variety of combat fitness tests such as timed combat shuttle runs, timed ammunition container lifts and tests that simulate running under combat fire. The step comes as the Marine Corps continues to evaluate where women might serve in combat. Earlier this year, the Pentagon lifted the ban on women serving in combat jobs, but each of the service branches is developing how this might be accomplished. The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps are looking at the standards required for serving in battlefront jobs such as infantry, armor and elite

They have until school at Camp Pendleton in California. cargo pilot was confused Marines have become the first women Jan. 1, 2016, to open as many jobs as Parris Island is the only site where
possible to women, and to explain why if they decide to keep some closed. The common requirements for men and women for each job would be based on specific tasks. Military officials have said the standards will not be lowered in order to bring women into any combat posts. Carey identified the women as Pvt. 1st Class Julia Carroll, 18, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, who is entering a school for signal intelligence training; Pvt. 1st Class Cristina Fuentes Monternegro, 25, of Coral Springs, Fla., who will study to become an aviation mechanic; and Pvt. 1st Class Katie Gorz, 19, of St. Paul, Minn., who is going to study logistics. On its website, the Marine Corps said the Camp Geiger course is the follow-on training for Marines who graduate from basic training at Parris Island, S.C., and about 20,000 Marines train there every year. Marines who complete recruit training at the post near San Diego move on to the infantry female Marines go through basic training. Carey said 15 women began the enlisted course with 254 men in September. It wasnt immediately clear exactly how many male Marines completed the course to graduation on Thursday. She said the course is separate from one that trains Marine infantry officers for leadership positions at Quantico, Va. Several women lieutenants have attempted to complete that course, but so far none has passed. A new group of enlisted Marines enters the infantry course every two weeks, and each of the units currently in training has women in them, Carey said. Under a 1994 Pentagon policy, women were prohibited from being assigned to ground combat units below the brigade level. A brigade is roughly 3,500 troops split into several battalions of about 800 soldiers each. Historically, brigades were based farther from the front lines, and they often included top command and support staff. WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Moments after touching down, the pilot of a cargo-hauling jumbo jet seemed confused in his exchanges with air traffic controllers who had guided his Boeing 747 toward a Kansas Air Force base. When puzzled controllers told the pilot that he was 9 miles north of his intended destination, he made an unusual admission. Uh, yes sir, we just landed at the other airport. His calm, understated response belied the danger of the situation: A mammoth aircraft had just landed on the wrong stretch of concrete, miles from its planned path, in the dark. The runway just happened to be long enough. As he tried to sort out the situation over the radio, the pilot could be heard mixing up east and west in his notes, acknowledging he could not read his own handwriting and getting distracted from the conversation by looking at something else. The 747, flown by a twoperson crew with no passengers, intended to touch down late Wednesday at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, where it was supposed to deliver parts for Boeings new 787 Dreamliner to a nearby company that makes large sections of the next-generation jet. Instead, the cargo plane landed to the north, at the smaller Col. James Jabara Airport. The jet took off again Thursday and within minutes landed at its original destination.

I was in the 11th grade and in government class when I found out. It was a huge shock to the class and kids were crying. I was numb, it was huge and there was so much sadness in the teachers and students. Sandy Laus I was pregnant with my first child and working at Ginys Beauty Shop teasing Minnie Sargeants hair. I was not crazy about him as a president; he was more conservative. It felt a lot like 9/11; helpless and no control over what was going on. It was an unexpected, horrible event with sad moments like Jackie climbing onto the car to gather pieces of his brains and skull. Nancy Rosen I was working at Ford Motor Company and heard it on the news. I followed some of it. It was just another killing. William Tracy I was in sixth-grade when the church janitor, Andy Hoover, came into our classroom and told the Sister what had happened and she then told the class. We said a prayer for him. I was stunned and concerned that he might die. When I got home, my Mom and everyone was crying. Shirley Beining I was at home mopping the bathroom floor listening to the radio when I heard the news. It was hard to believe. Judy Wilson I remember seeing it on TV and the funeral and seeing Oswald get killed when it happened. I was real young and still in grade school. It was more of a nervous scare because I really didnt know what was going on. Ron Brickner I was on vacation with my father in Florida around Cape Canaveral and we had just got up when it came across the radio. I was numb and sad at the same time. He was a president I really liked and thought he was a president that could do a lot for us. That numb, sad feeling stayed with me for a long time. Even today, I think we still miss him and that feeling comes back to me just thinking about it. Nancy Lhamon I was sitting on the chair in the living room with the TV on and I was reading the newspaper when I saw it on TV. When Oswald was shot, I saw that live on TV, too. I was just thinking Is this reality? Is someone pulling our leg? Judy Weaver I was in 11th grade at Elida High School and there was a lot of major concern among students. I realized there wasnt a lot I could do about it. The teacher shared the news and we discussed it a lot in school. I wasnt too overexcited about it because there was nothing I could do but there was the idea of the country falling apart. Thomas Poling I was at home watching TV and they showed it on the news. That took care of the whole day. Nobody likes to see that happen to anyone. Ron Rice I was in third grade on the playground and it got real quiet real quick. The teachers tried to explain it to us. Jim Weeden I remember I was scrubbing the kitchen floor and my neighbor Rose Kaverman called. I listened constantly to the radio. Sunday morning, I was getting ready for church and saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald. Alice Arnzen

days after Wheeler, a former lobbyist for the cellular telephone industry, took over the post of FCC chairman. The proposal to ease cellphone restrictions was greeted enthusiastically by the Telecommunications Industry Association and the Consumer Electronics Association. Grant Seiffert, president of the telecommunications trade group, said his members see airline passengers as a new market opportunity. But the electronics association acknowledged, Engaging in phone conversations in flight may prove technically feasible, but many may find it socially undesirable. The association said it would be willing to work with the airline industry on promoting telephone etiquette on planes. Reaction from the airline industry and labor unions was skeptical. Flight attendants and others have worried that a plane full of chattering passengers could lead to arguments and undermine safety.

Its certainly a vibrant part of American culture, Linenthal said, and I dont think it will stop. Here is a look at some of the more enduring conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination, according to Gallup and Wikipedia: The Lyndon Johnson Theory The theory: Kennedys vice president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, is the focus of what Gallup cites as one of the most widely believed conspiracy theories pertaining to Kennedys assassination. Johnson, it is thought, used his influence with both the FBI and the CIA to have Kennedy blackmailed, then killed. It gained prominence because Johnsons involvement with the FBI, a perceived feud with the Kennedy family and a scandal involving financier Billie Sol Estes detailed in a book by Phillip F. Nelson were cited as motives for Johnsons role in the assassination. Has it been debunked? No one can say for sure, given the theorys enduring plausibility in the minds of so many. An Associated Press poll taken in 2003 found that 20 percent of Americans thought Johnson had something to do with Kennedys death. However, other competing theories - most notably that Kennedy was murdered, in part, out of revenge for the Cuban Missile Crisis have blunted its popularity over the years. The KGB Theory The theory: Humiliated by the conclusion of the Cuban Missile Crisis,

officials at the main security agency of the Soviet Union programmed one of their agents, Lee Harvey Oswald, to kill Kennedy. It gained prominence because Oswalds Russian wife, his extensive travel in the USSR and his purported contacts with Soviet diplomats all provide context for its legitimacy. Intriguing circumstantial evidence including Oswalds trip to the Russian embassy in Mexico City a few weeks before the shooting provides ample fodder for research into this theory. Has it been debunked? Not completely. Although the House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 concluded that more than one gunman may have been involved, its findings also cleared the Soviets of any involvement. That conclusion has failed to satisfy many conspiracists, however. The Mafia Theory The theory: Facing deportation and seeking revenge on a president whose policies aimed to dismantle organized crime, mafia boss Carlos Marcello masterminded the assassination with help from Santo Trafficante and Johnny Roselli. It gained prominence because Compared to other theories, it doesnt seem so far-fetched. Members of the mafia had worked with the CIA in an attempt to assassinate Cuban president Fidel Castro, according to documents declassified in 2007. At the time, members of the mafia had the expertise to take out important people. And, compared to todays measures, security

around prominent elected officials was primitively lax. Has it been debunked? Complicated is a better word. With suspicions of CIA involvement and JFKs brother Bobby, as attorney general, leading the charge against organized crime the mafia had plenty of incentive to direct its vengeance toward others besides JFK. They had the motive and the means, but we may never know for sure if they actually pulled the trigger. The CIA Theory The theory: The nations main intelligence gathering arm had a number of high-profile disagreements with the president, including one about the agencys purported involvement in plots to assassinate foreign leaders, and another over Kennedys handling of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. This, the theory goes, spurred several rogue CIA agents to mastermind the killing of JFK. It gained prominence because It ties many of the other conspiracy theories together perhaps too neatly. One particular thread of the theory holds that the agencys involvement in a plot to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro greatly displeased Kennedy and inspired fear in some quarters that Kennedy would disband the agency. But whether it was Lyndon Johnson, the mafia or Federal Reserve (another, more far-fetched theory), the CIA came to be seen as having played an important role. Has it been debunked? Not even close. The CIA theory remains so popular, in fact, that the agencys website includes a page dedicated to discrediting its involvement in the assassination.
