So many things would have been different if Kennedy lived.

Maybe not all of them good, but I think on the whole, the children
of the sixties lost their "innocence" in the killing of JFK.

Even then, people thought the government was not telling all that
it knew, and LBJ really was talked into escalating Vietnam, and
all that followed.

JFK was a rare individual that could bridge between the WWII
generation and their children, after he was gone, the younger
generation lost ALL trust in their parents... maybe that would
have happened anyway, but we'll never know. After 8 years
of JFK, we might well have had 8 years of RFK...
