I heard Rush’s comment and I can’t wait to view this series. I asked respected history professor Gary Gallagher how many years have to pass between an historical event and the time when historians can pass an honest rendering of the event as opposed to the contemporary legend which grew up around the story. His answer was 70 years. We are now at 50 years so the time of truth telling about the Kennedys is fast approaching. When you think about it, the truth about FDR and his policies as compared to Calvin Coolidge and his policies are in the midst of a grand reversal right now, after about 70 years.

70 years! I am trying to recall, but I think I remember hearing that something (a record) would not see the light of day until 75 years after JFK’s assassination. I was in high school at the time I heard this and I quickly calculated that it was unlikely I would be alive to know the content. UGH and SIGH.
