        @BeschlossDC MLK assasination was first major news event I remember as a child. News that spring and summer were confusing, as a 5-year old.

        @BeschlossDC I love "Wilt Chamberlain (R)" in case we couldn't pick him out without help.

        @Stareagle Believe the (R) after his name was party identification, not location in picture. @BeschlossDC

        @largebill68 @BeschlossDC It would be accurate. I'm not used to seeing athletes identified that way.

        @BeschlossDC I said previously, I think Nixon was glad to have MLK out of the way. His thoughts, If it had to be assassination, so be it.

        @BeschlossDC @tomfitzgerald Oh come on! Nixon historians seem to agree that he was not goad-able. Was Republican MLK goaded, as well?
