Over six decades ago, Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. A few days later, Oswald himself was killed by Jack Ruby. A week later, President Lyndon B. Johnson tasked the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy (commonly known as the Warren Commission, after named after chairman, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren) with investigating the assassination.
Recently, we interviewed a lawyer who worked on that commission: Burt W. Griffin. Judge Griffin was assistant legal counsel to the Warren Commission. He was especially tasked with investigating issues related to Ruby. He recently authored a book on his experience investigating the murder: JFK, Oswald and Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth. He spoke to us about his initial reaction to the assassination, why the lawyers on the commission wanted there to be a conspiracy afoot, and what he learned as he dug into the case.

Staying hydrated is a key part of health. But how can we stay hydrated without breaking the bank when we’ve got all kinds of microplastics and impurities and weird tastes to contend with from our tap water?
Those weird tastes definitely get me. I tend to prefer the taste of bottled water, even though that’s not the most budget-friendly option.
That’s where AquaTru comes in for us. We love our new AquaTru, with its 4-stage reverse osmosis water purification system.
