Almost 2 years to that day after the coup d'etat (Nov. 8, 1965), WML? lost Dorothy Kilgallen, (52), who I and many others believe, was cruelly murdered to stop her from carrying out her famous public announcement, that she had cracked the Kennedy murder case, after interviewing Jack Ruby in prison. The last Kennedy-related episode starts at 1:17:30, airing Sunday night, Nov. 17, 1963.

No accident, the insiders know how to drug someone or induce a 'heart attack' in their sophisticated experiments from the 1950s. They needed to shut her up, and fast after her pronouncement on cracking the case! Ruby himself said in an interview that the coup would never have happened if Adlai Stevenson was the VP. He also said in the YT video on who to blame, "the man at the top." Nixon recognized Ruby from the HUAC days with Ruby appearing in front of that Un-Americsn Committee. Well known as a Mob-friendly guy, and Nixon said he was aligned with the VP, who became president on that Friday afternoon.

[@olenfersoi8887]

Col Sanders is often criticized for having sold KFC for way too little to a couple of fellow (including a future KY governor) who made a fortune when they resold the franchise less than 10 years later. But, Sanders was no fool, because he only sold the US rights at that time, and went on to widely increase the number of outlets, he still owned, in Canada & Europe. And those were not consolidated with the US brand until after he died. Hence, no-one needed to run a benefit for the Colonel while he was still alive.

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

Thank you so much for this compilation. It is a touching reminder of the general excitement and optimism the country felt about the new president and first family.

I was just a kid then, but it was palpable what a loss that was and has been for our country. (It's also amazing to see how the panel didn't know who Col. Sanders was!)

I guess that is because KFC, though already a fairly extensive franchise, was not yet advertised widely on TV...plus, I guess his face was not yet plastered on every store sign/logo or chicken bucket. Ultimately, Harland Sanders became one of the first persons where, as opposed to having an otherwise popular celebrity being the marketer of a product...the marketer became a celebrity in their own right. Long after his death, his image is still known around most of the world, even in closed societies...to the extent that his image is known better than that of the leaders of many countries.

So interesting listening to what was the 'now and present' is all now history

[@aspenrebel]

Who the heck is Vaughn Meader? I never heard of him, and I'm in Bahstin. He went to brookline high school, my mother went to brookline high school. I went next door in newton. I guess he was twelve years younger than my mother.

He was a JFK impersonator.However, his career took a major hit after 22/11/63 .

Dorothy is so good. But then she is a reporter.

[@julianmounser3241]

I'm English , senior school in 63, never thought America was democratic. Our version of this game was on television. On this showing the American version was much better. Wish we could have seen it then.

[@dinahbrown902]

America is a Republic even though the administrations all call it a Democracy. That’s Bull

Bennett Cerf was a very smart man

Strange -- When I think of Oleg Cassini, I am more likely to think of him as someone who was romantically involved with Grace Kelly, as opposed to someone who designed clothing for Jackie Kennedy.

Watching them question the woman who was a White House Correspondent (10:16) really brought back to mind how gender biased those times were. They can't wrap their minds around the possibility that she could have a job in the White House that didn't involve social planning, children, dealing with the First Lady or secretarial. Even "the girl who gives press releases to the reporters" but they don't even entertain the idea that she could be a White House Correspondent! Young people don't realize what it was like back then when they make fun of "feminists" as though they didn't change society. And then at the end, the comment about the press room being "far more decorative with her there" ugh.

[@aspenrebel]

No I think the problem was that when she said she worked IN the White House. They were only thinking that she worked FOR the White House (Fed Govt). Not that she was an outside correspondent coming into the White House.

Arlene wore the same heart shape necklace was it her favorite?

[@dinahbrown902]

Her loving husband gave it to her.

A kinder, gentler time... both inside the White House and outside.

[@rhondablack8079]

Because the news media actually reported straight news and not propaganda

[@annnee6818]

Kinder and gentler time? Really? If you were a white man, I guess. If you were anyone else, definitely not. Child abuse didn't even EXIST at the time you could do what you wanted, and people did. That's a very naive thing to say

[@divinewon73]

Clearly, more honest, reporting overall, but the newscasts were known to be a revenue loss, But it was an obligation to keep the public aware of what was happening in their government and around the world. Then, Fox turned it into profitable entertainment rather than honest news and the other stations more or less followed to make money. So now ratings are the priority rather than reporting the truth. Fox was taken to court for lying to the public… they defended their behavior by claiming they were providing entertainment, not news. Of course, the big corporation was given a pass.

Peter Lawford could not hide his voice😏

The JFK assassination destroyed Vaughn Meader's career.

[@robertchambers4065]

You are absolutely right. Shortly after the president was assassinated comedian Lenny Bruce commented they put two graves in Arlington Cemetery, one for President Kennedy and one for Vaughn Meader.

[@richardvilseck]

Yikes. When Vaughn Meader says, “I hope this coming year is as nice to everyone as this one has been to me.” Little did anyone know.

[@marlachristensen2076]

I liked Dorothy's question regarding Arlene's question of "Is it something you could hang?" with regard to the contestant, William Schnautz. I agree this answer would be a final yes due to the comment below.
