    I do agree with the Warren commission's findings. As pointed out in our book, while critics have found fault with the Warren commission's findings no convincing alternative interpretation of the events of November 22nd,1963 have been developed. America's love and fascination with all things JFK in my opinion, support the notion that although Kennedy offered few solutions to the day’s pressing issues his charisma and charm were immortalized near to the point of Sainthood.
