What were 3 major accomplishments that John F. Kennedy accomplish?
Though his presidency was brief by any standard--two years, ten months, John F. Kennedy had three legislative accomplishments that were of lasting benefit. In October 1963, the Senate ratified the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that his administration negotiated with the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. The treaty prohibited, among the signatories, the atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. It was the first treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union in the nuclear age and it formalized the beginning of a detente between the two adversaries. It also ended a period of dangerous radioactive fallout from the major nuclear powers of the day.
On the domestic front, Kennedy sent a daring tax bill to Congress in January 1963 that called for stimulating investment throughout the economy through major reductions in tax rates. This was a new concept in fiscal policy at the time. When Kennedy was inaugurated, the nation was suffering a rather severe unemployment rate of 7 percent. By January of 1963, unemployment was still around 6 percent. By reducing tax rates, the bill proposed making available an additional $10 billion per year for business consumption and investment. At the time of Kennedy's death, it had passed the House and was working its way through the Senate with little difficulty. Lyndon Johnson finally signed it into law as the Revenue Act of 1964. It is commonly accepted that the legislation reduced unemployment to 4.7 percent and resulted in an increase in Gross National Product (GNP) of $24 billion, both by the spring of 1965.
In June of 1963, Kennedy sent the most ambitious civil rights bill to Congress empowering the federal government to end racial discrimination since Reconstruction after the CIvil War. Though Lyndon Johnson secured its passage as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Kennedy rightfully shares some of the credit. Another important civil rights accomplishment of Kennedy's was the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the Constitution that outlawed making payment of a poll tax, as well as other taxes, a condition to the right to vote in federal elections. Kennedy signed the amendment in 1962 to send to the states for ratification, a process that was completed in 1964.
How much are silver half dollars up to 1964 worth in silver prices?
The scrap price of a silver half depends on the current spot price of silver. As of 10/20/2009 scrap buyers are paying around 10x face value for pre-1965 90% silver US coins.
That said, taking the coins to a scrap buyer is probably the worst way to make a profit from them. You should certainly be able to sell any common date, decent-quality coins made since the 1940s for more than their silver value, and anything that's rarer would of course bring even more.
As a worst-case example, one of my relatives sold a set of Mercury dimes for their metal value at a time when they were worth only slightly more than face value. He made a 10 or 15% profit on the metal, but lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars because he didn't have them appraised for their collectors' value.
Who was the passengers in the car when Kennedy was shot?

Why did Jack Ruby killed lee harvey oswald?
Ruby himself claimed that he did it to spare Jackie pain and suffering.
Others have suggested that Ruby acted out of anger or rage, as has occurred in many cases of 'vigilante justice' even in modern times.
Still others suggest that Ruby was part of a conspiracy, one that included killing President Kennedy and then killing his apparent assassin. Under that theory, Oswald's claim that he was a 'patsy' would be true, although ample evidence exists that Oswald was indeed guilty, including his separate murder of Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit.
