Profiles: Ruth Paine
In 1963, Ruth Paine was a young mother who befriended a Russian immigrant, Marina Oswald, wife of Lee Harvey Oswald. That friendship would thrust Paine into the national spotlight after the assassination of President Kennedy. Ruth Paine tells her story, including her work to integrate Irving's libraries and pools, in this edition of Profiles.

JFK Assassination: Marina Oswald - Ruth Paine Relationship - Education (2002)
Marina Nikolayevna Oswald Porter (née Prusakova; Russian: Марина Николаевна Прусакова on July 17, 1941) is the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. About the book:
Porter was born Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova in Severodvinsk, in the northwest section of western Russia, near Arkhangelsk, and lived with her mother and stepfather until 1957, when she moved to Minsk to live with her uncle Ilya Prusakov and to study pharmacy.[1] She met Lee Harvey Oswald, a former US Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union, at a dance on March 17, 1961.[2] They married on April 30, 1961, and had a daughter, June Lee, on February 15, 1962. In June of that year, Lee Harvey Oswald returned to the United States and he, Marina, and their daughter settled in Dallas, Texas. In February 1963, at a party, the couple were introduced to Ruth Paine, a Quaker and Russian language student, by George de Mohrenschildt.
In January 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have ordered a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver and then, in March, a Mannlicher–Carcano rifle.[3] Later that month, as Marina told the Warren Commission, she took photographs of Oswald dressed in black and holding his weapons along with an issue of The Militant newspaper, which named ex-general Edwin Walker as a fascist. These photos became known as the backyard photos of Oswald, which some conspiracy theorists dismiss as faked.[4] The series of photographs were later found in the garage of the Paine household, with the exception of one, which was given to George de Mohrenschildt.[5][6] The photograph given to De Mohrenschildt was signed by Lee Oswald, and has a quote attributed to Marina's handwriting in Russian, the translation of which reads Hunter of Fascists, Ha-Ha-Ha !!!.[7]
In April 1963, Marina and her daughter moved in with Ruth Paine (who had recently separated from her husband, Michael). Oswald rented a separate room in Dallas, and briefly moved to New Orleans during the summer of 1963. He returned to Dallas in early October, eventually renting a room in a boarding house in the Oak Cliff district of Dallas. Oswald obtained work at the Texas School Book Depository when Ruth Paine learned, from a neighbor, that employment was available there, and Lee Harvey Oswald commenced work on October 16, 1963. On October 20, Marina gave birth to a second daughter, Audrey Marina Rachel Oswald. Lee Harvey Oswald continued to live in Oak Cliff but stayed with Marina at the Paine household in Irving on weekends, an arrangement that continued up until the assassination of President Kennedy.
Oswald had been getting rides to and from the Paine household on Friday afternoons and Monday mornings with fellow TSBD employee Buell Wesley Frazier, when staying with Marina over the weekends. On November 21, Oswald asked Frazier to give him a lift to visit Marina, and to pick up some curtain rods for his boarding house in Oak Cliff. Lee was also attempting to reconcile with Marina after an argument, but having not succeeded in a reconciliation that evening, he left the Paine household that morning, leaving behind his wedding ring and $170, before hitching a ride with Frazier to work. According to Frazier, Oswald carried with him a package that he claimed contained the curtain rods he had mentioned the evening before.[8]
Marina learned of the assassination of President Kennedy after the massive media coverage that commenced within minutes of the event, and later, of the arrest of her husband. That afternoon, Dallas Police Department detectives arrived at the Paine household, and when asked if Lee owned a rifle, Marina gestured to the garage, where Lee stored his rifle rolled up in a blanket. When detectives unfurled the blanket, no rifle was found. Marina was subsequently questioned both at the Paine household, and later at Dallas PD headquarters in relation to her husband's alleged involvement in the assassination of the president and the shooting of a Dallas PD officer, J. D. Tippit.
Marina Oswald was portrayed by Beata Poźniak in Oliver Stone's JFK.
Helena Bonham Carter portrayed Marina Oswald in Fatal Deception: Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald.
A fictionalized version of her appeared in Stephen King's 2011 novel 11/22/63, about a man who travels back in time to prevent the Kennedy assassination.
In the 2013 television movie Killing Kennedy, based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, Michelle Trachtenberg portrayed Marina Oswald.
Buell Wesley Frazier drove Lee Harvey Oswald to work on Nov. 22, 1963.
IF FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO SHOW RESPECT FOR BUELL AND ME, TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT READ THE WARREN REPORT OR THE HEARINGS & EXHIBITS, DO NOT SEND ANY MORE UNINTELLIGENT AND UNINFORMED CRITICISM...
MANY OF THE IGNORANT COMMENTS COME FROM PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THAT THIS DISCUSSION WITH BUELL OCCURRED ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ASSASSINATION. BUELL HAD A SERIES OF TELEVISION, RADIO, AND NEWSPAPER INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED. HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO FIT ME IN BETWEEN THOSE INTERVIEWS. THE DOOR WAS OPEN TO THIS ROOM AND MANY REPORTERS AND INTERVIEWERS CONSTANTLY CAME TO THE DOORWAY AND INTO ROOM, ASKING WHEN WAS MY INTERVIEW GOING TO CONCLUDE, BECAUSE THEY HAD DEADLINES AND COMMITMENTS. IN BETWEEN ALL OF THAT, I HAD TO MAINTAIN FOCUS AND HURRY THE INTERVIEW ALONG BEFORE THE REPORTERS GOT TOO UNRULY.
Buell Wesley Frazier was 19 years old at the time of the assassination of President Kennedy. He worked at the Texas School Book Depository and he drove Lee Harvey Oswald to Lee's wife's residence on the night before the assassination. Buell is certain that Lee did not bring home wrapping paper to make a bag, to bring a rifle to the Texas School Book Depository the next morning. When Buell drove Lee to work the next morning, Buell is absolutely certain that Oswald did not bring a rifle to the School Book Depository with him. How did the supposed rifle get into the building? That question has never been satisfactorily answered. Listen to Buell Wesley Frazier's account as he tells Tom Meros.

A Conversation with Jim Leavelle and Eddie Barker
Recorded on January 24, 2007, A Conversation with Jim Leavelle and Eddie Barker was the inaugural program in the Museum's Voices from History: Dallas Law Enforcement program series. James Leavelle was the Dallas police detective immortalized in Bob Jackson's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. Wearing a light-colored suit and a cowboy hat, Leavelle was handcuffed to Oswald and helped wrestle Jack Ruby to the ground. Eddie Barker was news director for Dallas CBS affiliate KRLD-TV/Channel 4 in 1963. He was heavily involved in local news coverage of the assassination and was the first to announce President Kennedy's death.
To launch this 2007 series, Judge Joe B. Brown, Jr. provided a special introduction. A Dallas justice of the peace in 1963, Brown held an inquest into the death of Officer Tippit and issued search warrants for several assassination-related locations. His father, the late Judge Joe B. Brown, presided over the Jack Ruby trial in 1964.
Mr. Barker passed away on July 23, 2012.
Judge Brown passed away on July 30, 2013.

On the morning of November 22, 1963, Oswald left behind his wedding ring in a cup on the dresser and $170 in cash as he headed to work at the Texas School Book Depository.
The band that once belonged to President John F. Kennedy's accused assassin is among almost 300 items tied to the president's life and death being offered by RR Auction Thursday in Boston.
Bobby Livingston, executive vice president of the Amherst, New Hampshire-based auction house, called the ring being offered by Oswald's widow after its recent return to her a very powerful, significant piece of evidence.
It gives you such insight into the mind of Lee Harvey Oswald, said Livingston, who added that the ring could bring $100,000 or more

SUMMARY
=======
The New Deal was a series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms and regulations enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States between 1933 and 1936. It responded to needs for relief, reform and recovery from the Great Depression. Major federal programs included the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA) and the Social Security Administration (SSA). They provided support for farmers, the unemployed, youth and the elderly. The New Deal included new constraints and safeguards on the banking industry and efforts to re-inflate the economy after prices had fallen sharply. New Deal programs included both laws passed by Congress as well as presidential executive orders during the first term of the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The programs focused on what historians refer to as the 3 Rs: relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy back to normal levels and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression. The New Deal produced a political realignment, making the Democratic Party the majority (as well as the party that held the White House for seven out of the nine presidential terms from 1933 to 1969) with its base in liberal ideas, the South, traditional Democrats, big city machines and the newly empowered labor unions and ethnic minorities. The Republicans were split, with conservatives opposing the entire New Deal as hostile to business and economic growth and liberals in support. The realignment crystallized into the New Deal coalition that dominated presidential elections into the 1960s while the opposing conservative coalition largely controlled Congress in domestic affairs from 1937 to 1964.
