at LBL. My mater called me with the initial report. We shut everything down.. for the weekend through Monday (guessed? to be the funeral, though tacit).

I've previously mentioned the surreal weekend that was, the never-before or-since competent, respectful mostly silent unfolding on the media. SO and I spent weekend glued to (at least the sound) our only Tee Vee - a Sony 5" B&W, then an engineering miracle, and ob portable.

Jacqueline Kennedy carried the entire mass of US people (and much of the world's; even the Russ sorta liked him) on her adequate shoulders, beginning with her exit from the plane bearing the body / still wearing the blood-spattered pink suit, which she had refused to change.


We began to wonder /worry W.T.F. LBJ ... would do with the reins? Already.
