black and white, but live reports from the Dallas affiliate fed back to 
the net were in color!  (Remember the very awkward moments when it 
seemed to take forever for them to get things patched correctly?)  They 
must have been using a color quad machine to record.

	I missed that A&E presentation; I would have liked to have seen it.  I 
had just turned 13 at the time of the assassination and most of that 
weekend was a blur of sorrow and sadness.  We got through those 4 days 
like walking in a dream.  It just wasn't real.  I don't remember any 
specific TV news reports except for the funeral on Monday.
