Opening section of The Dallas Morning News from Friday, November 22, 1963, Vol. 118, No. 50, 22 pages, 15 x 23, with the front page headline reading, “Storm of Political Controversy Swirls Around Kennedy on Visit.” The section contains, on page 14, the full black-bordered full-page advertisement placed by the American Fact-Finding Committee, headed by Bernard Weissman, chairman, P.O. Box 1792, Dallas 21, Texas, and reading in part: “WELCOME MR. KENNEDY TO DALLAS… A CITY that rejected your philosophy and policies in 1960 and will do so again in 1964—even more emphatically than before,” followed by a series of boldface “WHY” accusations challenging Kennedy on Cuba, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, and Communist infiltration, closing with: “MR. KENNEDY, as citizens of these United States of America, we DEMAND answers to these questions, and we want them NOW.” Kennedy saw this advertisement on the morning of November 22, 1963, reportedly showing it to Jacqueline Kennedy and remarking, ‘We’re heading into nut country today.’ He was assassinated in Dallas that afternoon. In fine condition, with minor loss to the horizontal fold. Complete surviving copies of this edition are genuinely scarce; heavily circulated on one of the most consequential days in American history, most examples were read, discarded, or lost to time, making well-preserved examples rare primary source documents of the assassination.
