Apologies for going off topic - but I think it interesting that my husband,
a forensic psychologist, when getting a person's history, will ask about
memories of either JFK's assasination or FDR's death - depending on the age
of the patient. Fortunately or not, younger patients do not have that sort
of defining moment to call up.
