The concert footage was great. I didn't see that the first time around because my parents had the television off. They also had the television off during the roundtable discussions. Back then, we had academics like Mark Van Doren talk about the significance of the assassination.

Now it's just political operatives whose IQs are in the single digits pontificating and trying to tell us what to think.

The ONLY time there was clear journalist opinion in the original CBS coverage of the assassination was Harry Reasoner excoriating people who were upset their regular programs were preempted because of the coverage.

The assassination coverage has been called a time when "television came of age." I call it the high point in television history.

Everybody should see it, no matter how painful it is to watch.
