An article written by Jack Vandenberg,a reporter for the NYT on Youngblood's role protecting President Johnson on the day President Kennedy was killed. This is an interview with Youngblood who is extremely forthcoming about his role in the events of that day and how he does not think his actions of bodily shielding Johnson from any gunfire is a heroic act. To him it was just what any other agent would do. He also discusses how he knew something like this would eventually happen.
