Much to my surprise, it turned out to be John Logan, my tenth grade English teacher in Mesquite, Texas. It was wonderful to reunite with a former teacher and learn about his unique contribution to the legacy of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas. \r\n\r\nIn a 2012 retrospective, the Dallas Observer described Jack Ruby, All-American Boy as \"a noisy, sexy, audacious three-act, three-ring circus of drama, comedy and satire, a bold and bizarrely fanciful biography of the man who killed the man who killed JFK.\" Although the play, which premiered at the Dallas Theater Center on April 23, 1974, had a short one-month run of sold-out performances, it was reviewed in Time and The New Yorker. It was also the subject of a four-minute report by Walter Cronkite during his CBS Evening News broadcast on May 14, 1974. - Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"64793"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Duration: 76 Minutes"}}]}
