JFK's assassination aided by his bad back, records showEvery November, America remembers the end of Camelot: a shining time of promise led by John F. Kennedy, our nation's youngest president, brought to an abrupt and bloody end by Lee Harvey Oswald's second shot, a bullet to the brain.

To see a veteran journalist wipe away tears on live TV had to be shocking to America. This is an absolutely fascinating interview with Walter Cronkite about that moment...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8dbZzviQ3A
