THE STEPHEN G. MICHAUD PAGE
JFK: BREAKING THE NEWS
Hugh Aynesworth, a science and aerospace reporter for The Dallas Morning News, assumed he’d be just another spectator as President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade rolled through Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. But then Lee Harvey Oswald changed the course of history, and Aynesworth’s life as well. He was the only news reporter to be present at JFK’s assassination, as well as Oswald’s later capture and his murder by Jack Ruby two days later. That uncanny coincidence helped thrust Aynesworth into the middle of the assassination story, where he has remained, often reluctantly, ever since. He has broken more news about November 22nd and its convoluted aftermath then any other reporter.
The first print reporter to interview Marina Oswald and first to establish her husband’s escape route, Aynesworth also uncovered Oswald’s Russian diary and was involved in first reporting how the high-profile defector paid a threatening visit to the FBI office in Dallas only days before the assassination.
Written in collaboration with Stephen Michaud, his co-author on two highly-praised books about serial killer Ted Bundy, among others, JFK: Breaking the News provides over 200 photographs and artifacts from Aynesworth’s personal archive, including his notes from the day of the assassination and letters from British philosopher Bertrand Russell, then Congressman Gerald Ford, and the Jack Ruby family.
"To Have and To Kill" — an article from salon.com, August 25, 1999.
"Deputy Doc" — a story which ran in the Dallas Morning News.
