neat; thanks for posting! I love stuff like this. I grew up with history and political junkies, who were also Kennedy-philes, so this is especially fascinating.
On a more somber note, I can't believe next Saturday will be the 45th anniversary of the assassination and the beginning of the end of Camelot. I hope to God we never ever have to go through that again!

8. An ironic moment - Herb Kaplow was speaking from the ballroom... |
|
...at the Ambassador Hotel (Nixon's victory party was to be held there) where RFK gave his final speech 8 years later. The doorway behind him on the right side of the screen leads into the kitchen where RFK was assasinated.
