Synopsis:
On the day Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and brought into the Dallas Police Department, the place was in a state of total chaos. Crammed into the narrow hallways and corridors were dozens of news reporters and onlookers searching for some meaning to the horrible events of the day. Police officers and detectives were shuffling back and forth from room to room with grim faces. The situation appeared to be very much out of control - - flash bulbs continuously popped and television reporters stood nervously in front of television cameras broadcasting live to the world the message that someone had just been arrested.
