Monday April 23rd

On this day we continued blog discussion.  Here are the notes on the presidents we covered.

Kennedy: Fought in WWII.  Came from a rich family.  Only Catholic president.  The 1960 election went against Nixon.  It was a close race but Kennedy won.  His vice president, Johnson, didn't like him that much.  Television debates helped Kennedy win.  Was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.  His body was flown back to the White House for the autopsy.  Lee Harvey Oswald is the accused killer.  Was murdered by Jack Ruby.  Castro may have told Oswald to kill Kennedy.
