1/ Today is the deadline for the @USNatArchives to release the last of the #JFKFiles. Here’s where you can download them at home. dallasnews.com/news/jfk/2017/…
2/ The JFK Records Act of 1992 set a deadline in October 2017, but @realDonaldTrump deferred to the CIA and FBI at the last minute to give agencies an extra 180 days to evaluate if the last of the #JFKFiles should be released. That clock runs out today. ⏰dallasnews.com/news/jfk/colle…
3/ What we know:

• It’s unlikely files include any smoking gun about who killed JFK.
• Many documents don’t have much to do with the assassination.
• Many of the #JFKFiles have already been released in part.
• They give evidence of a conspiracy theory, just not *that* one.
4/ Our reporters dug have dug through the early batches of #JFKFiles as they’ve been released. Here’s some of what they’ve uncovered. 👇twitter.com/i/moments/9239…
5/ We learned more about the FBI’s efforts to keep tabs on Civil Rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. #JFKFiles dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
6/ We learned about the CIA’s efforts to kill Fidel Castro, including poison-tipped pens, mind-bending drugs and chemicals to attack the Cuban dictator’s beard delivered via his shoes. #JFKFiles dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
7/ We read about how Jack Ruby wanted to “watch the fireworks” as JFK’s motorcade drove through downtown Dallas. Did he know? #JFKFiles dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
8/ We learned about mistakes in the investigation, including how the FBI lost Lee Harvey Oswald’s fingerprints. #JFKFiles dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
9/ The #JFKFiles released today may not have all the answers, but may shed more light on the CIA and FBI’s actions during the Cold War. Stay tuned for more updates as our reporters dig through the newly released documents. dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

Ever wonder who the Texas governor and other statewide elected officials are talking to and meeting with in Washington? We did.

Come look at what @tombenning and @stephanierlamm found out:

"Hello, Washington? It’s Texas"

#txlege

dallasnews.com/news/2018-elec…
The vast majority of those interactions happen outside the public’s view. So we used open records requests to get the official schedules for Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton and others.
While not all meeting details or activities are recorded, even an incomplete look makes clear that these Texans are enjoying easy access in President Donald Trump’s Washington.

1/ Imagine lighting a match or flipping a light switch – the space around you ignites in a ball of flame, severely burning you or your family...
2/ More than two dozen homes have exploded in North Texas since 2006. The state could put financial pressure on the gas company to improve safety – but it usually doesn’t. interactives.dallasnews.com/2018/time-bomb/
3/ Fires and explosions along a massive network of pipelines owned and operated in Texas by @AtmosEnergy have resulted in at least 9 deaths and more than 22 serious injuries since 2006. interactives.dallasnews.com/2018/time-bomb/

1/ Jon Lambert was a PhD student at @Cornell. One morning, he slipped on a patch of ice and slammed his head into the pavement. He lay on the concrete and cried out. dallasnews.com/life/life/2018…
2/ “I think this scream came from a part of me that realized something I’d only considered abstractly before,” writes @evolambert.

“These bodies and brains of ours — and the lives they enact — are fragile, and can be broken in an instant.” dallasnews.com/life/life/2018…
3/ Elbow. Apple. Carpet. Saddle. Bubble.

The doctor told Jon to repeat those five words back to him; he could only remember three. They became his inner mantra for the next few years, one he would recite out of an obsessive compulsion to make sure he was OK.

Some personal news: We’re changing the way we rate restaurants.

Here’s why.

guidelive.com/restaurant-ope…
Forty years ago, The Dallas Morning News ran its first restaurant review with a star rating. Since then, through eight chief critics and thousands of reviews, the five-star system has remained pretty much the same.
But dining in Dallas has changed and shifted, particularly in the past decade.

So, we went back to the drawing board to create a new star rating system. Our goal: to create a system that reflects what we are looking for in a restaurant today, not the trappings of bygone eras.

1/ Earlier this year, 18-year-old NeQuacia Jacobs, an honor student at South Oak Cliff High School, was shot to death in what appeared to be a random act of violence. buff.ly/2KNVpwr
2/ Last year in Dallas County, 63 people under the age of 25 were shooting victims. buff.ly/2KNVpwr
3/ Shortly after 2:15 p.m. on Feb. 24, a gunman shot into NeQuacia’s home, fatally wounding her. buff.ly/2KNVpwr

1/ Remember when we showed you how North Texas cities use taxpayer money to compete against each other for jobs and investment? dallasnews.com/business/econo…
2/ Now, @stephanierlamm and @JillCowan take you to the Palo Pinto County town of Mineral Wells, where a cautionary tale played out. dallasnews.com/business/econo…
3/ Experts say what happened is a direct result of the state's approach to economic development, which puts Mineral Wells, located about 50 miles west of Fort Worth, in a tough spot.
