The E-Sylum:  Volume 5, Number 48, December 1, 2002, Article 8

OSWALD ASSASSINATION DATE CORRECTED

  When a dozen replies arrive immediately after publishing an
  E-Sylum issue, I know one of two things happened: either I
  messed something up, or I messed something up ROYALLY.
  It turns out that the anniversary item at the beginning of the
  issue contained two errors.  That'll teach me to throw in
  something quick without double-checking.  (Or perhaps
  NBS will cut my salary in half...)

  Myron Xenos (and several others) pointed out the first error.
  He wrote:  "Regarding the 40th anniversary of  Ruby killing
  Oswald -- if it is 40 years, then he must have killed Oswald
  before Oswald killed Kennedy."   It's only been 39 years.

  Tom DeLorey wrote: "The 22nd was the 39th anniversary
  of Kennedy's death, not the 40th.  On the 22nd I asked
  several over-50 customers at the coin shop "What happened on
  this day in history?" and most of them could not remember.
  Of course, once reminded of  it, everybody knew where
  they were when they heard the news. That remains the
  defining characteristic of the baby boomer generation."
