Movie Out..Virtual JFK....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1205541/What if Kennedy hadn't been shot?"Virtual JFK: Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived" lives up to its provocative title, even if it's actually more a look at "what was" than an exercise in "what if?" The brisk documentary posits that, given JFK's six-time avoidance of war while in office, he likely wouldn't have embroiled the U.S. in Vietnam had an assassin's bullet not intervened. In broader terms, it maintains a president's personality ultimately determines what gets us into -- and out of -- war. Clearly, it's a timely theory to revisit.Director Koji Masutani has masterfully assembled a wealth of archival footage, photos and audiotapes, some of which has been recently declassified. A captivating array of speeches, news conferences and high-level conversations reconfirm JFK's status as one of our nation's soundest leaders, yet one not without his detractors. As the movie lays out Kennedy's mettle-testing string of political and military challenges, including potentially disastrous conflicts in Cuba, Berlin and Southeast Asia, it also provides a compelling lesson in 1960s world politics.Potent clips of such Kennedy-era notables as Fidel Castro, Andrei Gromyko, Robert S. McNamara and beleaguered hawk Lyndon Johnson, along with on-camera commentary by Brown University professor and historian James G. Blight, round out this stirring treat- ise.-- Gary Goldstein "Virtual JFK: Vietnam If Kennedy Had Lived."MPAA rating: unrated. Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes. At Laemmle's Music Hall, 9036 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, (310) 274-6869.

I suppose his heart was in the right place (one can argue otherwise I suppose), but I think he hurt us more by keeping his mouth shut about it. They used him. He thought he was helping to create a sense of closure for the country when what he was actually doing was helping the perpetrators of the crime after the fact.

Scatman Crothers....Benjamin Sherman "Scatman" Crothers (May 23, 1910 – November 22, 1986)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scatman_CrothersPP: Hello,I have no idea what the readers can read into this...I am just posting information, dates, and facts that I have come across for the record....

Bob Dylan marries on November 22, 1965.PP: I wonder why he chose this date for a formal setting? Pondering my interpretation bank, I can only guess that this was a very significant date which bore on his mind constantly, as he was a/the socially conscious active activist of the era.Maybe he was thinking of the biblical clause 'When you under the law, you are under a curse', and thought this ominous date would be befitting to the occasion.

Well, I'm no expert on Bob Dylan and I have no insights into his personal life, but I would be very surprised if he chose November 22 as a wedding day because of its historical significance. Wedding days tend to be days that focus on the woman's desires.I got married on June 17, which happens to be the anniversary of the Watergate Break In, and I like to remind everyone of that, but my-to-be and I had decided (mostly my wife-to-be) on a Saturday in mid June and the 17th was it. My guess is that the same sort of process was what landed Dylan and wife on the 22nd.But that's all speculation and I would be delighted to be wrong.

History of mankind supplies the anniverary of a political murder for each day of the year, but I guess Bob Dylan did it consciously thinking about the Kennedy assassination.
