A CBS News Inquiry The Warren Report 22 of 4
A CBS News Inquiry: The Warren Report , June 25 through June 28, 1967
Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy, and acted alone. Those were the conclusions of the blue-ribbon Warren Commission in 1964. But America didn't buy it.
So CBS News mounted its own original investigations, gaining important new insights that the Commission didn't - or couldn't - reach on its own. Their extraordinary efforts include building the first-ever full-size replica of the shooting trajectory, with an actual-height sniper tower and a moving target. Was it possible for Oswald to fire all the shots in the time available? Was there a gunman on the grassy knoll? Was there a "magic bullet?" Was there a conspiracy? Walter Cronkite and CBS News pursue the answers and draw their own conclusions in a four-hour special report.
