Layover of destiny: Kennedy’s Fast Road To Dallas
Now it can be told! the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is working the hell out of JFK’s pre-assassination overnight in Ft. Worth, and revisits once again Texas Christian University’s role in the road to martyrdom.
Kennedy’s plans originally included receipt of a TCUÂ honorary degree, but they changed when TCU’s board rejected the Papist President as not the right type of Christian.
In one of history’s great Woulda Coulda Shouldas, a TCU degree ceremony might have pushed Kennedy’s Dallas motorcade later in the day, spoiling Oswald’s shot.
  Kennedy held a rally at his Ft. Worth hotel instead, then headed for Dallas.
