Forty years ago today, when the BBC finally stopped its non-stop coverage of the assassination of Kennedy, a brand new show appeared on British TV sets for the first time ever. The name of the show was "Dr Who", and it was about a mysterious old man and his granddaughter who just happened to be time travelers.
I wasn't born until over eight years later. I have no recollection of the Kennedy Assassination simply because I wasn't around then. The first major news event in my life that I clearly remember is the eruption of Mt St Helens. But I like campy old TV shows, and I have seen most existing episodes of Doctor Who.
So while the rest of the blogosphere ponders who killed a president who died before I was born, I'm content to pull out the video of the first episode of Doctor Who, "An Unearthly Child", and watch and wonder all over again.
