DALLAS — After more than 40 years under lock and key, a large collection of documents and items related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was released by the Dallas County district attorney on Monday.

The district attorney, Craig Watkins, officially unveiled 15 boxes that had been stored in a walk-in safe on the 10th floor of the Dallas County Courthouse. The boxes held a grab bag of memorabilia, from Lee Harvey Oswald’s clothing to a tooled leather holster used to carry a gun by Oswald’s killer, Jack Ruby.

“We decided that this information is too important to keep secret,” Mr. Watkins said.

1. Nothing to see there

I'm sure no one cares about that old stuff any more. Oswald was just a lucky shot. You'd be too if you had magic bullets.
