...blew up over the English Channel. Opposite Bobby's desk, in stark contrast to the collection of his children's watercolors, are memorabilia of J.F.K.-whom he almost always calls "the President" or "President Kennedy," rarely "my brother" and never "Jack." There are several photos, a framed scratch sheet with Jack's pencil doodlings from his last Cabinet meeting (Oct. 29, 1963), and a photo of J.F.K. accompanied by some words from Tennyson's Ulysses: "Come, my friends, 'tis not too late to seek a newer world...

The second P3 went out with a broken gearbox after only ten hours, and the last of the Ferrari factory prototypes ground to a stop six hours later with a blown head gasket. With Fords running one-two-three and no more challengers in sight, Team Manager Carroll Shelby ordered a slowdown. Then Beebe got an inspiration.
