Fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I was a senior in college, with a few other students visiting a professor with a brokenleg in a local hospital. Kennedy was being welcomed in Dallas, and many people were watching live coverage on TV. Suddenly a nurse came rushing into the room, exclaiming, Hes been shot! the Presidents been shot! We were struck dumb-- assassinatations didnt happen any more, I thought (growing up in the 1950s, I had read about a few historical assassinations - Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley. But the 1960s proved to be a new era of violent deaths - Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, and others. dallasnews/news/jfk50/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy
