I remember November 22, 1963. I was in a science class and the head nun came on the intercom with the news. I can still remember her exact opening words: “Your prayers are requested for the repose of the soul of President John F. Kennedy, who has been assassinated in Dallas, Texas.” There was an audible gasp from the class, and the nun who was teaching our class left the room and we saw her in the hall talking with another nun.
My first reaction was, “The Russians!” Remember, this was just over a year after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and there was still great distrust, if not outright hatred, of the Soviets.
We had the same thought a few months before Dallas, when in April, 1963 the US submarine Thresher sank. Again, our immediate reaction was, “It was the Russians!”

nothing new under the sun.
re the “space thing”.....actually it was Eisenhower who made the first steps to establishing NASA...
I still am dumbfounded when thinking back at all the crap the Kennedys got away with.
Have all Irish people disowned this wretched clan yet, or are there still some holdouts in County Kerry?
Memories...
Great one Howie who knows where all the bodies are buried in Massachusetts. And Howie did a very nice deed here by inquiring within the useless Kennedy Klan for this woman they disabled into a wheelchair...So she could get more out and about. To get this (to threaten to shame them via Boston Herald exposure) useless Kennedy arse Klan to pay out more for her so that she can get around.
Well done Howie!
I never heard of this poor lady. RIP.
At least she was able to marry and have a kid and decent life despite having her legs stolen.

RE Never heard:
Me neither. The circled wagons around the Kennedys evidently kept it fairly quiet.
“Camelot”, indeed... pffft.
Him and my mom (who was 12 going on 13). Although in defense of my mom she does remember a lot of her female neighbors crying that day.
Kennedys - Fighting a War on Women for over 80 years.
Happy Lee Harvey Oswald Day.
If only Marilyn Monroe had gone public with her ménage a trois in 1962 and exposed that degenerate family for what they were, just imagine how much better off things would’ve been in the long run. Instead, we get these two brothers canonized (and Teddy the turd, too).
Should be a federal holiday! Hard to celebrate LBJ getting in though.
Hey...I’ll support an “Oswald/Sirhan Day”.
Monroe: Yup. And the runt if the litter (Ted) probably did the most damage.
LBJ = Satanic.
They double-teamed her?
