I was going to visit the site of the Kennedy assassination but Google says it is a 90min. train/subway journey each way.

Um, Orange Line has been open a few years now, and runs every 20 minutes during the day (twice an hour later in the evening). Arrives / leaves just outside Term A, well less than 5 minute walk.
It is SLOW in some parts, and takes about an hour to West End station, which is the closest one to the Grassy Knoll.
Add time to clear security when arriving, and you might get an hour downtown, depending on just when train arrives/leaves. Possibly as little as half hour.
Oh, and while I've caught light rail at West End station at 11 p.m. before, there are a lot of homeless and ne'r do wells hanging around at all hours - though DART police are usually present as well.
