Working on president kennedy that mrs. Kennedy walked into the operating room in the emergency area and took out a piece of his skull and offered it to the doctors and said, would this be of any help . Of course by then it was too late. Lets interrupt just a moment here. Yeah. Because julian parallels what you are saying with where he was and what was happening in the limousine as well. Can you overlap what sid was talking about .
