JFK -- documentary Public Television (two-night coverage): Nov. 11 and 12, 2013

from PBS dot-org ___________________________ AMERICAN EXPERIENCE (check local listings) Coming November 11 & 12, 2013 -- Forever enshrined in myth by an assassin's bullet, Kennedy's presidency long defied objective appraisal. Recent assessments have revealed an administration long on promise and vigor, and somewhat lacking in tangible accomplishment. His proposals for a tax cut and civil rights legislation, however, promised significant gains in the months before his assassination. While maturation, as evidenced in the handling of the Cuban missile crisis, was apparent, the potential legacy of the New Frontier will forever be left to speculation.
