...sunshine itself became sinister and a chill of premonition crossed the mind -- the dank American underdream -- and in a small spasm of panic one frisked the faces in the crowd, looking for the wrong one. The sudden foreboding had a specific primal antecedent in time and place and noon sunshine: the nerves were reaching back exactly to the imprint made upon the American mind on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas.

This is something like saying the sun was where you expected it to be at noon. Next up was a moderately difficult reverse somersault that he was accustomed to nailing for 8s and 9s, but this time it went wrong. He jumped almost straight up instead of up and out, spun too close to the board, cracked his head on the board's edge as he rotated backward, and wobbled raggedly into the water...
