If I would not watch the Hystory Channel series of 
Kennedy-assassination - I really would let it go to rest... But! 

I still think that the Pioneer anomaly is the photon energy loss
accumulated over the photon progression time of up to 10 1/2 light 
years. Conveniently covered-up in screwed-up records an explanatory
documentations...

And I believe in the Corsican team firing 4 shots... And Hg filled 
bullet killing the President... Anyone could do that, who learned
about the contingency cover-up to avoid the thirld word war!
