UK, 1961 (MIFF 2000, Sensational Symphonies – The Unseen Ken Russell)
Director: Ken Russell
The earliest example of Russell's composer portrait work is a fascinating biography of Sergei Prokofiev which utilise stock footage from Soviet propagand newsreels, stills and live action shots of hands playing at a piano. The BBC then strict policy (soon to be challenged by Russell in his Elgar) of not permitting actors to portray living persons presented a creative challenge.
"The paradox of Russell's work lies in the combination of dazzling visual imagination and wilful, snook-cocking vulgarity the inspired crystallisation of a musical mood or literary style countered by over the top shock-tactics; genuine poetry anc clodhopping crassness... allied to a non-naturalistic interpretation of facts. His early BBC documentaries... remain gems, both factual and impressionistic. Alan Bennett's TV sketches on Life and Times in NW1 conferred the ultimate accolade, depicting a trendy Hampstead husband absenting himself from his wife's childbirth in favour of 'the new Ken Russell on the box tonight '—Time Out
"I'm setting out to tell the story of a child of the Revolution who fell out of favour with Stalin because he refused to turn out muzak glorifying the USSR. At the same time it's about the responsibility of the artist to the public."—Ken Russell

Very centrally located hotel, perfect to explore all of Asunción Warm, friendly atmosphere altogether Perfectly equipped, maintained and clean rooms Very good restaurant
No complaints at all!
good location
staff was not friendly at all, specially at the reception, I asked them to print out my boarding pass and they were not willing to this, they were too lazy!
Room was spacious and very clean. We had a great visit.
I would like to have wash clothes in the bathroom.
Location, good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.
There was no warm water. We should wait 20min till we get warm water. The first day we get shower with cold water. The room was very cold. We slep the first night with 10 degrees in room. It was very cold in the room. I wouldn´t recommend the hotel. For that price is the hotel very expensive und offers not the necessary comfort. I will not stay defenitly again in that hotel.
Wonderful selection for breakfast buffet. We had a spacious Jr. Suite with pullout sofa. Excellent location for Centro downtown Asuncion. Beautiful hotel down to every detail, with with great dining and comfortable lobby. Top service!
Nice well kept facilities, great breakfast, quiet.
WiFi in my room was so intermittent its almost useless.
I was extemely happy with my stay at Las Margaritas, Front desk staff such as Angel, Lourdes and Dulce were fantastic. I had problem with airline losing my bags for several days and the front desk staff went out of their way to try to help me get the bags located. I loved the decorations and furniture in my Junior Suite Rooms. I was in room 606 for 7 nights, left for a few days to see the falls and then returned to room 806 for 3 more nights. I loved the comfort of the beds in the rooms, the decoration of the furniture and colors and the tiles in the bathroom and sink areas were great. I highly recommend this hotel and I travel internationally a lot and really would recommend this hotel. I had a problem briefly a couple times with Wi-Fi signal and the immediately sent a tech person to check it out, re-booted server etc to solve problem quickly in minutes. Angel at front desk knew my name and greeted me personally ever since I checked in. He also went out of his way to give me the best room location possible and improved it upon my return after trip to the Iguazú Falls. Thank you very much to all the staff.
No problems that I would need to discuss. Very happy here.
Very nice hotel in the center of Asuncion, room was large with a very nice furniture. Swimming pool on top of the building with urban view of the city.
Nothing, only Asuncion itself
Nicely decorated and in an excellent central location. Good value for the price.
The swimming pool lacked proper maintenance, and breakfast was just correct.
We had a jr. suite and it was fantastic! The breakfast is amazing and the layout/decor of the entire hotel is beautiful. It was too cold to swim, but the balcony pool/rec area is really nice.
View from our room wasn't great, but downtown Asuncion isn't too breathtaking anyway.
The hotel has a great location, the rooms and breakfast are very good and the kindness and efficiency of Sebastian are exemplary. O hotel tem uma boa localização, os quartos e o pequeno almoço são muito bons e a simpatia e eficência do Sebastian são exemplares.
Most employees are not very kind, especially Sara. A maioria dos funcionários são antipáticos, sobretudo a Sara.
The hotel was lovely ,the room clean and spacious ,the pool area fantastic and the staff very helpful.
The location was not what I thought but was fine.
I stayed in three different rooms during a week. attractive room and Comfortable bed. Good shower. Excellent towels. Good A/C. Excellent breakfast included. Great location downtown near the central park. Attractive rooftop swimming pool and bar. nice hotel
First Room had a rank smell when entering. Probably because The only Window opens to interior shaft, so no fresh air. I switched rooms a few days later and there was no smell. Noisy pounding and construction going on in the hotel all afternoon as they were remodeling a room. Swimming pool steps and floor are a smooth tile. It is dangerously slippery. There is no handrail to help in or out of the water. Wifi excellent in one room and frustrating in the other two as I would continually lose the signal.
El desayuno estaba bueno. Breakfast was good.
Solicite una plancha y no tenían. I requested an iron and they didn't have.

My God, he did it again. Vasily Koshechkin had his 8th shutout in his last 12 starts today defeating Salavat Yulayev 2-0. Koshechkin improves his record to 9-3-1 on the season. For those around the Superleague who might've hoped the decline in talent in front of Koshechkin after Lada's November fire sale would slow the big netminder down, no such luck. In his three games since the Karjala break Koshechkin is a 2-1 with two shutouts and just 2 goals allowed.

Stricter dog tethering laws to be among Bristol animal control changes
Updated On: Jul 15 2014 10:46:00 PM CDT
Dog owners in Bristol Tenn. may soon have to follow stricter rules when it comes to tethering their pets.
The Bristol, Tenn. City Council finished drafting possible changes to its animal control laws on Tuesday night.
They debated whether or not the allow the tethering of animals in city limits.
Michele Knight went to the work session with her service dog, Izzy.
"I hope people see Izzy and realize that she does a lot of good and that wouldn't have happened if she was a chained dog," said Knight.
Knight told us she spent 20 years as a dog trainer and saw first hand the negative effects of tethering.
"They kind of go to barking, to barking really hard, to showing their teeth, and then growling at strangers," she said. "They just get more and more aggressive."
City council members discussed the pros and cons of tethering as they reviewed a new draft of city's the animal control laws.
Council member Jack Young told us he supports tethering but that pet owners must treat their dogs right.
"Whether it's taking them on a walk, playing in the backyard with them, running around with them, getting them off the leash, letting them in the house," Young described.
They decided on a compromise by the end of the meeting.
The draft ordinance now says pet owners can only allow tether their dogs from 6:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m., unless a pet owner gets a special permit. The dogs also must be six months or older in order to be tethered.
Young told us the changes will present challenges.
"We've seen numerous information from other agencies, and other cities, and counties who have done this and the time issue does seem to be the hardest to enforce," said Young.
Despite that, the city leaders said this change is the only way to keep track of who is keeping their dog tied up for too long.
They discussed other changes to the animal control ordinances.
One adjustment includes specific explanations for how much food, water, shade and shelter outdoor dogs should be provided. It was also decided that tethering is not an appropriate method of confining a dangerous dog because some council members said it may not always work.
The council made a motion to table any rules that would make it illegal to bring dogs to city events until they can discuss that issue with Bristol, Va. leaders.
Before any of these changes can become law, they must pass a first and second reading. The first reading of the draft ordinances isn't until August. Council members decided, if the new laws are approved, they will go into effect on May 1, 2015.

Nine Song Titles That Begin With The Phrase "Born To"
Also, honorable mention: "Born Too Late" by The Poni-Tails (click the link in my name)
If you can get past the naff vocals (I glory in them), "Born To Be Alive" is just a tremendous dancefloor juggernaut that by my lights easily holds its own with anything else from the eurodisco axis of the early 80s. One of the curious things about it is the way joins the cheeky go-go horn section typical of French disco at the time with a driving Italian backbeat, and then introduces it all with a rock guitar that sounds like Pete Townshend chanelling Flatt and Scruggs! Crazy

Millions of Americans Have an STD
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 02-21-2013 - 10:13am
Millions of Americans have an STD and sadly half of new infections each year are among young people says the CDC. According to a new report, Here's a new, and sobering, government statistic to ponder on Valentine's Day: Experts estimate that the number of sexually transmitted infections among Americans now totals more than 110 million.
In two studies published online Feb. 13 in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases, estimates of the prevalence and cost of treating STDs are tallied.The numbers are not good.One of the more concerning findings was that there are nearly 20 million new infections each year, and half of those occur among young people (aged 15 to 24)."

Is enough being done to teach young people about STDs?
|Mon, 02-25-2013 - 12:20pm
It is absolutely ridiculous how little is being done to educate and prevent STDs. If that many people had the flu you can bet it would be all out war against it. I feel that far more needs to be done to teach our youth about stds than what is currently being done. They are too preventable to have so many people infected!

Mad Ants point guard and second-leading scorer Ron Howard is out of action for tonight's game against Austin.
Howard, who averages 19.1 points and 4.7 assists, got tangled up with a Maine player and fell to the floor with 6:40 remaining in Thursday night's game. Howard got up slowly and walked off the floor with his right arm hanging to his side, but returned to make a basket three minutes later.
Howard later complained of soreness in his right wrist, which was bandaged during this morning's shootaround.
His status for Sunday's game against Rio Grande Valley remains uncertain.
Forward Chris Porter, who did not play Thursday due to flu symptoms, is in uniform for the game against the Toros.

Carbon emissions from Spain's electricity sector are expected to remain almost flat until 2014, before dropping in 2015, the country's energy regulator CNE has said in a report, due to a poor economic outlook.
The forecast is part of a broader report regarding the power and gas sectors, published this month.
Power generation emissions jumped by 25% year on year in 2011 in Spain to 73m tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e), on the back of the increase in the use of coal due to a government initiative to support the country's domestic industry, figures from electricity transmission system operator (TSO) REE show (see sister publication EDEM 4 January 2012).
CNE said that emissions from the so-called ordinary regime plants - including combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT), coal-fired, hydro and oil-fired facilities - are forecast to stand at 39m tCO2e in 2015, down 30% from 56m tCO2e in 2010. According to REE, total power sector emissions in 2010 were 58.7m tCO2e.
It should be pointed out, however, that the CNE 2010 figure includes coal-fired, gas-fired generation and island generation, the latter accounting for 11m tCO2e, while the 2015 forecast excludes the latter.
The 2011-2015 forecast takes into account REE forecast generation for that period, and also considers the impact of the law subsidising the Spanish domestic coal industry.
"The decline in emissions is not due to the change in generation technology... but is mainly because of the current economic situation and the future forecast," the report said.
The report highlights that the greener CCGT generation technology suffered a setback compared with previous forecasts, in favour of other more polluting technologies such as coal-fired generation. Plants fired with national or imported coal are expected to emit 24m tCO2e in 2015, up from 21m tCO2e in 2010, while CCGT plants are forecast to emit 16m tCO2e, down from 23m tCO2e.
But the report states that it expects a decline in coal-fired generation in 2015, as the coal-supporting law will stop. SM

Why Does Everybody Hate Sheamus?

Re: Why Does Everybody Hate Sheamus?
My reasons?
1) Apart from his unique look, he's no different from anybody else his size. He doesn't shine in the ring more than the average guy his size, and he doesn't shine on the mic period. He was never pushed to the main event as a result of his actually gaining any admiration (or hatred) from the audience, or surge in interest as a result of his actual work, or character. He was chosen by the company. I don't mind WWE choosing him (it's their company) but it hasn't been proven to work. Top faces typically develop organically, like John Cena's thuganomics run, or Batista's brilliant story arc with Triple H. When guys become top faces there's usually some spark of brilliance on a creative/artistic level that pre-dated it but Sheamus has no such thing (thus far) on his resume. Maybe he'll do it later, but he hasn't done it yet, which would naturally lead me to believe that he's a project of one of the executives backstage.
2) Reason 1, in addition to the fact that he's basically become a less talented, Irish-caricature version of Cena doesn't do him any favors.
Some people say he was good as a heel, but I disagree. He was just as generic as a heel as he is a face. I see no differences in the character apart from the fact that the face character tells more jokes. But maybe that's just what I see. I'll never be a Sheamus guy. Heel or face, I find the character culturally and artistically irrelevant.

If you asked most kids who was born on December 25--in theory at least--most would say Santa Claus. Christmas long ago stopped being solely a religious holiday. Actually, it isn't even really about Santa Claus anymore either. It's all about the gifts, baby. If you think we're being cynical, try giving a 10-year-old boy a three-pack of dress socks instead of Tomb Raider III for Christmas. The closest they'll get to his feet is when he's stomping in the garbage can to squeeze in a little more wrapping paper. Fort Worth's Stage Theatre is--God bless 'em--trying to inject a bit of the original spirit into this Christmas with The Christmas Mysteries, a collection of short plays that retell selected Bible stories. Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, and even Satan all figure prominently in the The Christmas Mysteries, adapted by Stage West vet Nicolas Sandys from a group of plays originally performed in medieval England. It's probably too late for some kids, especially the ones who have developed a bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome from WCW/NWO Revenge. But hey, it's worth a shot. The Christmas Mysteries plays at Stage West, 3055 S. University in Fort Worth, through December 27. Performances happen Thursday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., and Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. There will be no performances on Dec. 24 and 25. Tickets are $14-$18. Call (817) STG-WEST.

There's nothing that screams "Christmas"--quite literally--like a screening of The IMAX Nutcracker at The Science Place's IMAX Theater. You can't help being in the spirit of the season after watching IMAX's first-ever foray into non-documentary fare. It's like holding a brilliant snow globe up to your eye for a few hours, as the theater's giant screen overwhelms you with five-story-high Christmas trees and toy soldiers that could hold you in the palm of their hands. The score is even better, as England's Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra tackles such Tchaikovsky standards as "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." On the downside, The IMAX Nutcracker is the only Christmas film (save for the saccharine It's a Wonderful Life) that could potentially induce nausea. And we're still not crazy about that knee-crossing title. The IMAX Nutcracker plays at The Science Place in Fair Park through January 5. Shows happen daily. Call (214) 428-5555 for times and prices.

Rarely does an art exhibit depend as much on its patrons as does the Good/Bad Art Collective's latest one-night-only extravaganza, 120X (Marks the Spot). The collective will hide 21 artworks by current and former members--including Erick Swenson, Marshall Thompson, Martin Iles, Heather Grace, Susan Laswell, Shane Culp, Aaron Graves, and Tim Kaminski--around the Denton area, anywhere and everywhere. In exchange for a small donation, participants will be given a map of the search area, general directions and rules, and a three-hour window in which to retrieve all of the pieces. The exhibit doesn't begin until all the works, locked in wooden crates, have been found and returned to the G/BAC headquarters, where they will be unveiled for the first and only time. Plus, under the time-honored finders-keepers rule, everyone who locates one of the pieces gets to leave with it. It's Christmas shopping the Good/Bad way. 120X (Marks the Spot) begins at 8 p.m. at the Good/Bad Art Collective, 120 Exposition in Denton. Participants should bring a flashlight and a compass. Call (940) 591-1725.

Five years ago, Zamora the Torture King's act--sticking various sharp objects through various homemade holes in his body--would have been shocking or, at the very least, something you didn't see everyday. Now, people walk around with enough metal in their faces and other, naughtier parts of their body that Deep Ellum sounds like a convention of tambourine players. Unfortunately for him, Zamora is just one of the guys now. Sure, you'll never see us sticking eight-inch skewers don't our throat (though there are several people out there who'd like to do the job for us), but we don't flinch when we see someone else doing it. Since body-piercing has become so prevalent, if a human pincushion like Zamora wants to keep his unofficial crown, he has to do something drastic like lop off a few fingers. Not that we're suggesting that. We wouldn't want him to, ahem, cut short his career. Zamora the Torture King and his touring stunt show will perform at the Lizard Lounge, 2424 Swiss, on Sunday. Call (214) 826-4768.

Now that the price of a pack of smokes has finally cracked the magic $3 barrier, we're actually considering quitting. Not really, but saying it makes us feel a little better. For those of you actually planning on using the tax-hike and impending New Year's resolutions to lay off the cancer sticks, Eastgate YMCA is offering Monday-night aerobics to whip your black, boxing-glove shaped lungs back into shape. At $26 a month, it's a cheap way to make you feel a little better about yourself. The same used to be said for cigarettes. As for our New Year's resolution, we plan to smoke even more next year. At least if we break it, it's a good thing. Classes start at 5:30 p.m. every Monday at Eastgate YMCA, 1753 Plaza Drive in Garland. Call (972) 613-3117.

With a new flu season approaching, Via Christi Health is changing its employee flu shot policy.
Via Christi will now require all employees to be immunized against the flu. Failure to comply with the new requirement by Dec. 1 will be considered a voluntary resignation, Via Christi said in a memo to employees.
The hospital operator says the move is aimed at keeping patients, staff and visitors safe.
"There really has been very little push back," said Dr. Thomas Kluzak, who serves on Via Christi's safety committee. "This has been strongly encouraged in the past."
Kluzak said many hospitals across the country have already adopted similar policies requiring employees to receive the flu vaccine.
"We think it's a simple and easy thing that we can do to just help improve the safety of all our patients," Kluzak said.
Via Christi will grant medical and religious exemptions to employees. Those who qualify for the exemptions will have to wear a mask during flu season.
Masks are also required at Wesley Medical center for employees who do not volunteer to have flu shots. The shots, however, are not required.
"They're strongly encouraged," said Jennifer Krier, Wesley's human resources manager. "Otherwise, if they don't get the flu shot then they do have to wear the mask to be in compliance."
Wesley's policy has been in place since 2009, Krier said.
The now-mandatory flu shots at Via Christi are part of enhanced safety efforts -- including requiring all employees to wash their hands when they enter and exit patient rooms -- being implemented in an effort to prevent hospital-acquired infections.
The shots are also expected to cut down on employee absenteeism.
"We don't want to be caught in a position where we have a flu epidemic and all kinds of people are being admitted to the hospital and we don't have anybody to care for them because they're all home with the flu," Kluzak said.

There are two million orphans in Kenya, an East African country of about 30 million people. Some of these children can be found in Mathare Valley, pit of heartbreak and despair, home to some 600,000 people within six square miles of Nairobi, Kenya. At the bottom of this human heap of misery are abandoned babies; AIDS orphans cowering in abusive relative's homes; and ragged street kids sniffing glue to escape hunger, physical and emotional. Many will enter and leave the world here, perpetuating a vicious cycle of generational poverty and hopelessness.
In the midst of this relentless suffering, Pastor and Mrs. Karau, Hope's Promise Kenyan Country Coordinators opened Sanctuary of Hope #1 in October 2006, a children's home for eleven orphans from Mathare Valley. Sanctuary of Hope #2 opened in September 2008 to receive a family of ten more children. Working together, we are enfolding forgotten little ones into homes of security and love.
Enjoy this glimpse into the early days of SoH. Our thanks go to Melissa Berry for creating this video, as well as to songwriter, singer and musician, Brendan Jamieson. To see and hear the SoH family describing the heart of Hope's Promise Kenya's mission, take a few moments to view a more recent video. Many thanks to the video's creator, Daniel Barassa and also to songwriter, singer and musician, Brendan Jamieson.

Hope's Promise Kenya Short Term Mission, January, 2011
From Jan 12-24, 2011 a Hope's Promise team of twelve members served in Kenya. Our team ranged in age from 13 to late 50's, with every decade represented. We served in three settings designed to help team members grapple specifically with how to respond to the world-wide crisis of orphans (143 million orphans in the world, 3 million orphans in Kenya): Mathare Valley slum, an institutional orphanage called Mother Teresa Home for Abandoned Children, and Hope's Promise's two foster families of eleven children each called Sanctuary of Hope. You are invited to join our team and process with us through a series of travel journal entries.Visit Pamba Toto… learn about a unique way business that supports Sanctuary of Hope through sales of jewelry and home decorations. To learn more about Bryan Jones , a musician who combined his talents with a passion for orphans. He and his band "Picnic in the Meadow" produced an album of original music called "Livin' in Me" as an offering of "loaves and fishes" to raise money and awareness for Hope's Promise, and specifically to raise funds to open a new home in Kenya.

The gift of a family for EstherSometimes, in the desolation of East African slums, the best a mother can hope for her sick baby is that the child will die. Despite her mother's recurrent death wishes for her, five years after her birth, Esther continued to huddle in a corner of the Mathare Worship Centre daycare. Appearing to be about two years old, she could not walk independently or talk. Her vacant eyes haunted the hearts and prayers of many visiting Short Term Mission team members who began to network on her behalf. American doctors reviewed Esther's medical records, and partners pledged financial support if Esther could be admitted to Sanctuary of Hope (SoH). In June 2010, I accompanied Hope's Promise's Kenyan Country Coordinator, Edith Karau, to a doctor's visit with Esther as part of her SoH admission process. Frail Esther melted miserably into her mother's lap on my left, her eyes swelling with tears. Mama Karau stood on my right. The doctor sat in front of us, silhouetted against a large sunlit window. The dissonance of grinding gears and squealing brakes from traffic just outside almost drowned out his comments. I leaned forward as he gently explained that the tests Esther needed would be costly and her daily care would be consuming. "You need to determine the value of her life," he said. The shock of the moment flooded my mind with a thousand thoughts. If the scale tipped to the left, how long could Esther defy the odds? I turned to the right, and the balance shifted towards life. Knowing that I had the backing of friends in the US, I told Mama Karau, "If you can provide the care, we can secure the funding." As she later explained, Mama does not doubt that God has His Hand on Esther's life and has brought her to us for a reason. Mama met the doctor's questioning gaze, and did not hesitate to reply that they will care for her. Recent photos from Kenya reveal the glitter in Esther's eyes, her filled out cheeks, and an adoring smile cast upon her new Daddy, Pastor Karau. Video footage records a miracle: Esther walks, a little wobbly but completely unaided, while a gaggle of new brothers and sisters wildly cheer her accomplishment.

Book Description:
Stephen Cohen updates his critically acclaimed book with a discerning view of significant recent events in the region, particularly the devastating earthquake in Kashmir and its after affects. The quake killed over 70,000 people and left another 3 million homeless in one of the most remote, inhospitable parts of the world. Cohen observes how the catastrophic event has affected Pakistan's political, military, and economic structures, as well as its relationships with other countries. Praise for the previous edition: "A lucid, penetrating and brilliantly constructed book on the state and nation of Pakistan. Cohen, an old South Asia hand, brings to the fore all his knowledge and expertise of one of America's most important allies in the war against terror." —Choice "Cohen's facts are indisputable, his logic cold and clear, and his omissions deliberate and meaningful." —Foreign Affairs "A singularly successful effort to explain Pakistan.... The intellectual power and rare insight with which the book breaks through the complexity of the subject rivals that of classics that have explained other societies posing a comparable challenge to understanding." —Middle East Journal "Cohen knows Pakistan well and his analysis is very perceptive." —Newsline (Karachi, Pakistan) "A personal, perceptive, and policy-oriented study of Pakistan. This is an important work, by a leading expert of South Asia." —Economic and Political Weekly (India) Book Review "[Cohen's] survey of how the country has developed and why it is at the crossroads it is now is most insightful and useful. A first class primer and more as I commence my work." —David B. Collins, high commissioner of Canada, Islamabad

Road trip made three Manchester teens witnesses to history at JFK's funeral
The caisson carrying President John F. Kennedy's casket turns onto the Arlington Memorial Bridge en route to the burial site at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 25, 1963. (FILE)
It was late November 1963. Wayne Hoitt, John Murray and David Fitzpatrick were seniors at Manchester Memorial High School, part of the first full graduating class at the new school.
"The girls started crying. Guys like me were kind of in shock," recalled Murray.
Fitzpatrick was in the band room when the announcement came. "None of us could believe it, of course," he said. "Everything stopped; it was like we were all in suspended animation."
It was Hoitt who had the idea: "We have to go."
His parents, he said, were "yellow dog Democrats," and John Kennedy was their hero. "As kids in high school, this guy was just golden."
Murray brought peanut butter crackers; Hoitt had his Kodak Brownie camera. They had about 30 bucks and not a plan among them.
"It would be an adventure," said Murray, who stuffed a pillow and blankets under the covers to hide his getaway. "If I told my parents, they would say no."
They never got inside, but they got to talking with a kindly soldier from nearby Fort Myer, who invited them to bunk with him at his apartment in Virginia.
"I guess I thought it was kind of strange," he said. "He's the President of the United States and he's just going to be buried normally."
At the White House gate, Fitzpatrick showed the guards his New Hampshire driver's license. "And they said, 'OK, you're on the list.' And I walked to the White House driveway."
Hoitt also managed to persuade a guard that he was a reporter, for his school paper. (It was a lie.) "Got a camera?" the guard asked.
So he found himself inside the White House press office getting a pass that allowed him inside the gates, with a close-up view of the funeral cortege.
"I remember being so excited I was beside myself," he recalled.
When Jacqueline Kennedy came outside, flanked by Ted and Bobby Kennedy, the murmurs of the crowd turned to absolute silence.
"I'll remember that forever."
Hoitt had time to take just one photograph of the trio. And while the image is blurry, it captured the shadows on the ground of the three Kennedys.
"Think of everybody you've seen on television: reporters, famous people, prime ministers, Presidents, kings, queens," Hoitt said. "Think of everybody you've ever seen walk right past you. Everyone."
Fitzpatrick remembers French President Charles de Gaulle, a towering figure, walking alongside the diminutive emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie.
"It was all somber," he recalled. "It was the pound, pound, pound of that funeral music playing. And they walked right in front of us, feet from us.
What struck Hoitt most is the memory of the three Kennedys standing there, waiting for the procession to begin. "They were like statues. But they were just people. They were just people at a funeral."
But Murray does. After he finally parked, he couldn't get back to the White House, so the 6-foot-2 teen found a spot on the street to watch the funeral procession. "I did see the caisson go by. I did see John-John, I did see Mrs. Kennedy and Caroline."
When he reached the 6th Precinct, he lucked out. "They said, 'We got two guys here that match that description.'"
The trio arrived home to admiration from their classmates - and trouble from parents and school officials.
They got one day of detention for skipping school.
Murray said it was years before he understood how truly significant the trip was.
For Fitzpatrick, the trip was the start of a journalism career that has taken him around the world at some of the pivotal moments in history. He was in Iran during the hostage crisis, Poland for the Solidarity movement, Bejing for Tiananmen Square and Berlin when the wall fell.
Hoitt enlisted in the Army after high school, trained as a radio operator and went to Vietnam with the 173rd Airborne, the first Army ground combat unit to go there.
He went on to a career in facilities management, retiring three years ago from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy.
For Hoitt, Kennedy's brief presidency was "the spiritual and ethical and moral height of this country."
Fitzpatrick sees the assassination as the beginning of changes in this country.
Americans have become more cynical, more set in their ways and less open to the viewpoints of others, he said. "And that may have started in those awful events of those terrible days back in 1963."
"It burns into the brain. And it never, ever goes away."
