Texans Reflections on Kennedy Death and Texas Culture
The piece argues Texas confronts guilt over John F Kennedy's death, citing Dallas as representative yet not unique to Texas. It traces frontier pride and rural self reliance, notes hostility toward Kennedys visiting Dallas, and discusses how local conservatism and extremism grew from Texas culture and history. It recalls Oswald and the 1962 governor race to explain attitudes shaping the state's response.
