Wade Rhodes Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) I found this excerpt interesting Houston Chronicle coverage: Published Nov. 22, 1963 Edition: 3rd EXTRA Note: This EXTRA was the third of four printed by the Chronicle as the story of President Kennedy's assassination unfolded. Its lead headline read: "Assassin's Bullet Kills Kennedy; Connally Shot, in Grave Condition" BY MAURICE BROGAN Chronicle Reporter Dallas--Doctors who worked for 40 minutes to save the life of President Kennedy gave this account of his injuries: Dr. Malcolm Perry said: "The President was near death when measures were begun. We assisted his respiration with oxygen and anaesthesia machine. Passage of an endo-tracheal tube was made and a tracheotomy was performed. Blood and fluids also were given, and an electrocardiogram monitor was attached to record his heart beat." Dr. Kemp Clark, neurosurgeon, said: "I was called because the President had sustained a brain injury." "It was apparent the President had sustained a lethal wound," Dr. Clark said. "A missile had gone in and out of the back of his head, causing extensive lacerations and loss of brain tissue. Shortly after I arrived, the President's heart stopped. We attempted resuscitation, initiating closed chest heart massage, but to no avail. A missle had gone IN and OUT of the BACK of his head....
