With the publication of the absorbing, fact-filled Warren Commission report, the U.S. this week harked back to the still vivid day last November when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. In a campaign year, the mood also stirred memories of the hard-fought 1960 election that sent Jack Kennedy to the White House.

Thanks mostly to the vivid work of the principal players, the central characters come off as wonderfully real and specific people, so much themselves that they couldn't possibly be anybody else...
