There is a man who is a head of state.  He is a very powerful man and is well liked by his subjects.  The people love him.  Then he is suddenly, inexplicably murdered.  Someone is blamed for the murder, but the entire country knows the accused are innocent and are tools used in a cover-up.  Does this situation sound bizarre?  Does it sound like some work of fiction?  Well, it is.  It is the beginning of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.  However, it is much more than that.  It is real life.  It is the circumstances that surrounded one of the most surreal periods of time in United States history.  It is the situation surrounding the assassination of one of the US’s most revered Presidents, John F. Kennedy.

These latter methods could allow a person to commit murder and easily get away with it.  Even though the actual murderer may be caught, the person financing the operation could get away untouched.
     In Macbeth, Duncan was well protected by his guards.  However, he was still murdered.  The guards were overcome through a simple trick.  "The doors are open, and the surfeited grooms\ Do mock their charge with snores.  I have drugged their possets..."  says Lady Macbeth.  She had drugged their drinks, and instead of guarding Duncan, they were asleep.  Macbeth was easily able to sneak past them and kill Duncan.  Every precaution available had been taken to insure Duncan’s protection.  It is not an easy task to get past two armed bodyguards in a cramped area.  However, through some deceit, Macbeth was able to accomplish this.  This reaffirms the statement that no protection is absolute.
     Perhaps the best example that no protection is infallible occurs in the aforementioned situa...
