Twenty-five years ago this November, what began as a routine chore for Cecil Stoughton became the most crucial assignment of his career.

Kennedy was assassinated, and because he knew his job as well as he did, we have a moving pictorial record of that day—much of it never before published.

We hope you enjoy our work.
