DALLAS 1963: DISCUSSION BY STEVEN L. DAVIS AND BILL MINUTAGLIO

Wittliff literary curator Steven L. Davis and Bill Minutaglio, co-authors of Dallas 1963, in a conversation moderated by Mark Busby about the swirling anti-Kennedy forces in Dallas that led many people to warn the president to avoid the city on his fateful trip to Texas. In the early 1960s, Dallas was brewing with political passions, crammed with larger-than-life radicals, reactionaries, and extremists dead-set against the Kennedy presidency. Davis and Minutaglio present a revelatory portrait of the fringe warriors—and the civic leaders—who concocted the climate of hatred that led many to blame the city for the president's death. Many Americans are aware of Dealey Plaza, where Kennedy was murdered. But fewer know of Ted Dealey, the publisher of the Dallas Morning News, who raucously confronted JFK inside the White House, telling him, "We need a man on horseback to lead this nation—and many people in Texas and the Southwest think that you are riding Caroline's tricycle." Dallas was also home to the world's richest man, oil baron H.L. Hunt, who bankrolled hysterical attacks against Kennedy's Medicare program, claiming that it would lead to government death panels. Dallas congressman Bruce Alger condemned JFK as a socialist dictator and helped unleash a mob attack against Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson. These men were joined by others, including defrocked Army general Edwin A. Walker—who had been relieved of command by Kennedy for brainwashing his troops with far-right propaganda. Walker retreated to Dallas, making it the headquarters for his bitter campaign of revenge.
