1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 This week we follow Dorothy Kilgallen onto the front lines of the JFK assassination story, where she did the work almost no other reporter in America was willing to do. From her first column one week after Dallas to the only private interview Jack Ruby ever gave a journalist, we trace the columns, the leaks, and the people she was talking to before her files disappeared. Was the Carousel Club meeting between Jack Ruby, Officer J.D. Tippit, and a &quot;rich oil man&quot; the thread that finally got her killed?
