Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John F. Kennedy ? Perhaps no major event in modern U.S. history has spawned more widespread doubt than  the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas in November 1963 . The official account: One man  Lee Harvey Oswald  did it. The unofficial theory: Well  there are many.
 The JFK assassination  is back in the news as the deadline for releasing a final batch of government documents related to the investigation approaches. Back in 1992  Congress passed a law ordering that all remaining papers be released by Oct. 26  2017 â thatâs this Thursday. President Trump could still decide to keep some information secret on national security grounds  but he seems inclined to allow everything to be released on schedule.
Will this last dossier of evidence put the conspiracy theories to rest? Thatâs unlikely. Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary  most Americans have believed that more than one person was involved in  Kennedy âs death since almost the moment of  the assassination .
According to a new FiveThirtyEight-commissioned SurveyMonkey poll of 5 130 adults  conducted Oct. 17 to Oct. 20  2017  only 33 percent of Americans believe that one man was responsible for  the assassination . A majority  61 percent  think that others were involved in a conspiracy. In pretty much every demographic  most respondents believed that Oswald didnât act alone.
Most people believe JFK wasnât killed by Oswald alone Respondentsâ beliefs about President John F. Kennedyâs death  according to a poll conducted Oct. 17-20  2017 GROUP ONE MAN KILLED JFK OTHERS WERE INVOLVED Overall 33% 61% Male 33 62 Female 32 60 White 38 56 Hispanic 22 72 Black 19 76 College graduate 42 52 No college degree 29 65 White college graduate 48 46 White without a college degree 33 60 Registered voter 35 61 Not registered 25 69 18-34 35 60 35-64 31 62 65 and older 32 60 Republican 36 60 Democrat 36 61 Independent  no lean 24 70 Voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 38 59 Voted for Donald Trump in 2016 35 61 Source: SurveyMonkey
Thatâs not say that every group believes in a conspiracy theory at equal rates. African-Americans (76 percent) and Hispanics (72 percent) are far more likely than whites (56 percent) to believe that Oswald didnât act alone. The government  of course  has a history of lying to the black community  which may be why African-Americans are more likely to think the government isnât telling the whole story about  Kennedy âs death and other major news stories.
In our SurveyMonkey poll  the 33 percent of people who believe that one man killed  Kennedy  is higher than itâs been in any yearly average of polling since 1966. That was the year before New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison publicly accused the government of enacting a huge cover-up to conceal the fact that  the president  had been killed by anti-Communist extremists in the CIA.  He  later prosecuted a man  he  believed was involved in the conspiracy  and though  he  lost  his  conspiracy case in court  Garrison and his theory went on to be immortalized in Oliver Stoneâs 1991 film âJFK.â Although the movie made millions of dollars and fanned the flames of conspiracy  it did not seem to have much impact on American opinion overall â the percentage of Americans who believed in a conspiracy remained pretty stable before and after the filmâs release.
Why is it  though  that belief in a lone gunman has grown by over 20 percentage points in the past two decades? It could be that conspiracy theoristsâ inability to provide proof has hurt their appeal to the public. Itâs also possible that recent computerized evidence seeming to prove Oswald acted alone has gotten through to Americans. Finally  it could be a simple matter of demographic changes. The percentage of Americans who have at least a college degree continues to rise  and SurveyMonkey found that 42 percent of Americans with at least a college degree believed Oswald acted alone compared to 29 percent with less than a college degree. In fact  a slight plurality of whites with at least a college degree actually believed one man was responsible for the death of  Kennedy .
Whatever the cause of the recent upswing in the popularity of the lone assassin theory  most Americans still think that there was a conspiracy and that more than one man was responsible for  Kennedy âs death. Perhaps if the government releases the final documents on the assassination  that will put conspiracy theories about the murder to rest. But chances are it wonât.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Art Shay ? This man is Art Shay and his life  which is now deep into its 95th year  is sprinkled with all sorts of stories of people â famous  infamous and âordinary.â He has these stories in his head alongside images of them (and of many  many places) because he has had a camera in his hands for 80 years and it was his job and his passion to capture life through his lens.
 Photographer Art Shay  will be honored by the American Writers Museum with the installation of a special exhibit   âCaptured Stories: American Writers Through the Lens of Art Shay .â (E. Jason Wambsgans / Chicago Tribune)  Photographer Art Shay  will be honored by the American Writers Museum with the installation of a special exhibit   âCaptured Stories: American Writers Through the Lens of Art Shay .â (E.

Erica DeGlopper is here too. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute with degrees in photography and printmaking  she first encountered  Shay  more than a decade ago when she saw  him  interviewed on television.
â He  was so fascinating that I just had to meet  him  â she says. So  she showed up at  his  house and offered to help  him   as she says  put  his  âprevious life in order" by organizing  his  work. She drives to Deerfield a few days a week and some weekends from her home in Wisconsin to continue cataloging more than 2 million of  his  photographs.
DeGlopperâs understanding of and affection for  Shay  are palpable. She is friend  archivist  aide de camp and ardent admirer. âWe have got to keep things going until at least  his  100th birthday â she says. âThatâs when I am hoping we can have a major retrospective of  his  work.â She wants it to be at the Art Institute.
I am at the house  of course  and I have known  Shay  for more than 50 years because  he  and my father were friends and I have written about  him  many times  including a story about the two of us dangerously searching for the apartment where Algren made love to Simone de Beauvoir.
Here also is the photographer Jason Wambsgans  recent winner of the Pulitzer Prize for  his  work with a camera  taking photos and video and listening to Artâs stories  some of them about people long gone but others about such contemporary stars as Corgan  with whom  Shay  is collaborating on a yet another project.
We are in split-level Deerfield house where  Shay  has lived for nearly 60 years  and it is a glorious mess of photos  books  racquetball trophies  art work â¦ a panorama of  his  life.
 Art  says that Florence is always on his mind  and when he starts to put those thoughts into words  his eyes fill with tears as he says  âI miss her common sense. I miss her smile.â
He also misses their son Harmon  who vanished  presumably murdered  without a trace at 20 in 1972  in what Art refers to as the âhippie jungles of Miami.â But in addition to Richard   Art  has three accomplished grown children (Jane  an attorney in Los Angeles; Lauren  a photographer also in L.A.; and Steve  a photographer in Seattle). He hopes to see some or all of them soon at two big events taking place this week.
On Thursday  he will be honored by the American Writers Museum (americanwritersmuseum.org)  180 N. Michigan Ave.  with the installation of a special exhibit  âCaptured Stories: American Writers Through the Lens of Art Shay.â
