Such unnecessary evasive maneuvers were cited as the probable cause of the collision over New York's Westchester County between an Eastern Airlines Constellation and a TWA 707 jet.

Edward McCormack, running for Governor, invoked JFK's name with liturgical repetition, but his speaking style was more like that of the younger Kennedys.
