The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963 was quite possibly the biggest cultural event of my generation. Although I was only 3 years old at the time, it made an impression on my young mind so that for some months after, every time we drove through the tiny town of Dallas (South Dakota), on the way to see my aunt in Nebraska, my brother and I would hunker down on the floor of the car (in case somebody with a rifle on the water tower started shooting at us, I guess).
