THIS DAY IN HISTORY
<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>-<^>


Fifty-one years ago today, November 25, 1963, America buried the slain President John F. Kennedy. It brought a somber finality to the fact that the nation and the world had been robbed of a bright future that had been called the New Frontier by its leaders, and that would come to be known as Camelot.
