Editor's Take:
Marina Oswald Porter was a young woman from northern Russia when history swept her up. She met an American defector at a dance in Minsk and married him six weeks later. Within two years she was living in Texas with two small children and an unstable husband. After the Kennedy assassination she became a key witness for investigators. In later decades she publicly questioned the conclusions she had once supported. She has spent most of her life trying to stay out of the spotlight.
