Summary: The 50th anniversary of JFK's tragic assassination has us thinking about some other shared American moments of tragedy from Challenger to the Saint Francis Dam. And how a drink saved a US Political Figure from one of the largest disasters of his time. Fair warning, it's not the most cheery episode, but a reminder that such events happen and were shared tragedies before the internet or even TV. Then, a bit about Whigs and the new modern Whigs. Re-do. Previous version got bungled.
