Wondering if Sid Davis was the last remaining eyewitness to the Johnson swearing in, the image of which remains so familiar to those of us alive at the time?
Sid Davis, a White House correspondent who witnessed the swearing-in of LBJ as president aboard Air Force One after the 1963 assassination of JFK in Dallas, has died at the age of 97. I believed his final on-camera interview was the one I conducted for VOA. www.voanews.com/a/dateline-d...
Dateline Dallas: A Reporter Remembers Kennedy Assassination
This November 22 will mark 60 years since the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Among the journalists in the motorcade that day in Texas was Sid Davis, the White House correspondent for Westinghouse Radio. VOA’s Steve Herman sat down with Davis to discuss what he saw that day.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Is Musk demanding the data held by the Social Security Administration in order to make it more efficient? Unlikely. Here's a better explanation:
