School, sixth grade. I had a wonderful sister a nun sister Roberta Miriam and sometime in the early afternoon a knock at the door came and that was rare. Back in those days you were not interrupted in class. She went to the door and i heard her gasp. She placed her hand up against her chest. She came back to the class and she said students i have terrible news. President kennedy has been shot but he is still alive. Take out your rosaries and lets pray for the president.

Anything. She was crying and we knew. Do you remember that weekend at all . Guest i remember everything about it. We were all upset. And i went to my walkers. A good friend of mine because the next week was thanksgiving and the odd thing you have to be at Catholic School at the time to understand but i remember seeing to my friend he was the only catholic elected president and he didnt live to finish out his term and thats the way that we looked at it back then.

I remembered a woman slamming the door and saying i dont support a papist. I didnt know what that was that it was a big deal to us. There was a lot of anticatholic prejudice. Host i was seven at the time that i have a vivid memory of our principal walking into our second grade classroom in new york and telling us. The only two things i remembered that is after i got hom
Youre so gracious. Carry pop back to the earlier panel real quick . Engaging. You are very accessible in terms of answering questions and how are you doing this and what are people wearing. ,y question for this panel is how many people are in the press corps . Is about 40, im guessing. I wouldve thought twice as many. Peoplee are a number of who wear multiple hats. You could be sent off to boston and all the sorts of things. We are all aware of the strains that journalistic institutions and the media are under and the need to have fewer people covering more things. Technology can help with that. The number of people in the press room who are devoted to the Supreme Court correspondence has gone down materially. The core people you rely on, that you have known like these , those institutions remain committed. There are a lot of regional papers that have completely , some of theerage Television Networks have retrenched considerably. It is a smaller and smaller group. When i read something
