Fortress Of Good Fortune

There is a good article here with memories of November 22, 1963, by Walter Shapiro, Senior Correspondent for Politics Daily. There are other reminiscences in the comments, too.

Series Notes: Well, it’s no secret that I absolutely love Darwyn Cooke’s The New Frontier! As I read it I got all sorts of ideas, and will collect them under the umbrella title, "The New Frontier". Stories could range from slash to (gasp!) gen and het. :) I’d like to focus on many different characters within the framework of The New Frontier universe, or use it as a jumping-off point.

Author’s Note: Happy Birthday, starsandsea! :) Pairing/Threesome: The Trinity! Prompt: Ooooh! Um... Maybe the Trinity just hanging out and relaxing? Not quite as relaxing as you might have envisioned, but they’re having a good time! Hope you like it! :)

( Clark and Bruce stood, Diana shaking their hands firmly. Clark knew that she hadn’t held back with him, but had been very careful with Bruce. Human bones were so easily broken. )

Author’s Notes: I often use canon as a jumping-off point into other possibilities, though there are plenty of canon stories from this fandom coming up on my ‘To Write’ List. ;) Isn’t it great to be in on the start of a new fandom? :) This story, however, is one of those where events branched off from the movie timeline at some point, and there was a happier ending than that of the events at the Biograph Theater in Chicago on the night of July 22, 1934. If John Dillinger had survived that night, or it hadn’t happened at all, it would make sense that he and the ones who loved him couldn’t stay in America. I haven’t gone into details on the hows and whys, and may only hint at them in the next two installments of this trilogy, but I hope you enjoy this little tale of love ‘undercover’. I’d recommend reading the first story in this trilogy, but in case you don’t, Johnny is Jack, Billie is Willa, and Mel is A.J. :)
The entire series can be found here.

( The ballroom was filled with quite a few people. The party was for Americans to celebrate the Fourth of July, but they had also invited non-Yankee guests. )

There’s been wall-to-wall coverage on TV about Senator Kennedy, and I’ll give you a rundown of events. I’m still planning to put down some thoughts on the Kennedys and how they’ve affected me and my family over the years, but I’m letting those thoughts coalesce for now. It’s a very emotional time for me, because there’s a lot caught up in all this that I need to sort out.

Wow, the date kind of snuck up on me.

It was forty years ago today that Bobby Kennedy was shot in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, just a few months after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and five years after the murder of his brother Jack.

Tonight at 9:00 (EST) American Experience on PBS is presenting "Oswald's Ghost", a program about the Kennedy assassination and the cultural effects all these years later (it'll be 45 years this November 22nd).  I don't know if it'll be good or not, but the ads on the radio sounded interesting.
