When JFK was shot in Dallas in November 1963, I was home from school sick. It was up in the Chicago area, and I was watching “Bozo the Clown” on WGN. Suddenly, one of the news anchors broke in with the news — shots fired at the president.

I’ve just cut my workload considerably. No more news stories or opinion columns about the low water levels in the six Mexican tributaries that feed Amistad and Falcon.
