JFK could have taught our lot how to accept political responsibility

THIS week marked the 42nd anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy.

It was a day that anyone who was old enough knows where they were when the heard the news.

President Kennedy was not really as popular that day as he would be a week later when it no longer mattered. One report that went around the world was that schoolchildren in Dallas cheered when they heard of Kennedy’s death. That was true, but the story was distorted.
