Good morning, it’s September 24, the 268th day of 2008. There are 98 days left in the year. The day should start in the upper 60s, but by this afternoon, the temperature will warm to about 90 under a sunny sky.

Forty-four years ago today, on Sept. 24, 1964, The Warren Commission reported that although Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating President Kennedy in Dallas, a conspiracy could not be disproved. The report is still the focus of controversy.
