The son of a John F. Kennedy advisor has a question

2. Did these matters play a role?

This reminds me of the situation wherein author and historian Burke Davis wrote of the Southern psyche in the decades that followed the Civil War, when he noted "...a thousand what ifs course through the grandson's blood..." I was a few weeks short of 10 years of age when this murder went down. I recall tiny details about that afternoon like it were yesterday. I suppose it speaks to what a generation or two of us has had implanted in our personal psyches. It has always been there, lurking in the margins as the years have gone along. The other evening I was watching a DVRed special on the assassination. My wife enters the room and says, "Oh no, not Kennedy again!!??" She continued, "he's always dead at the end, you know what happens, why do you watch that?" Why? I don't know, maybe it's like Burke Davis said and I think about what ifs.
