Shortly after noon on Friday, November 22, 1963, as he drove in a motorcade through Dallas, President Kennedy was shot.  At 1:30, a stunned nation learned that the President was dead.  "He's gone," said a grief-stricken aid. Vice President Johnson took the oath of office on Air Force One in front of federal judge Sarah Hughes, and the First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy.
