5:00 Arrive JFK International Airport, NYC--Motorcade begins a 5:05
On motorcade through Brooklyn ---stopped a total of 12 times to greet crowds, wave at folks, President stands on his car with Bobby Kennedy.
5:10 In motorcade through secret service radio the President learned that Chairman Khruschev had resigned.
5:30 The President changed to an open car for the remainder of motorcade--police estimate over three-quarters of a million saw the President and Mr. Kennedy on the motorcade route.
Kennedy wasnt even cold when LBJ had to bust his ass to be sworn in.. he had no respect for the man in life, less in death. He couldnt wait till JFK was out of his way, old bastard.
