Is this a cenotaph?
Or a tomb?
We gathered on a crystal Dallas afternoon, a November 22, quiet and threatening.
Forty-plus, including a member of the Kennedy family -- the only one to speak at an assassination symposium.
Philip Johnson's elegant concrete prison of spirit.
George Michael Evica led the service. At its conclusion, he asked that all assembled place their right hand on the slab in a farewell blessing.
What lies beneath?
I know how George Michael would answer the question.
I tend to agree.
I felt it.
Him.
The most moving experience in my dedicated JFK life.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
