BOSTON—More than half a century after U.S. President John F. Kennedy was struck down by an assassin’s bullet in Dallas, Texas, the United States is due on Oct. 26 to release the final files on the investigation into the killing that rattled a nation.
The final batch of files may or may not offer any major new details on why Lee Harvey Oswald gunned down the first and only Irish-American Roman Catholic to hold the office on Nov. 22, 1963.
