A very stute observation.
TV was cemented in our life the day Kennedy was shot.

Don't forget the Kennedy - Nixon debates (Fall of 60?). I think Dick's 5 O'Clock shadow and the sweat on his upper lip sunk him. With radio he might have been elected. I also remember watching Osweld get it live on television. And don 't forget the famous anti-Goldwater ad that had the little girl plucking daisy petals with the atomic countdown? Now that was a great visual manipulation.

I was in school that day. My freshman year. I was in English class when the news came out on the intercom. We went to 6th period history class. I remember the teacher crying. She was a very proper lady. Very skinny with thick glasses and short hair and wore tweed skirts and sweaters. I remember being more shocked at the teacher crying then the president being killed. I mean, teachers just didn't cry!
