Except the Lord keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain.
-- The Bible: Psalm 127:1
(King James Version)
On this day in 1963, according to the Associated Press, "John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was assassinated while riding in a motorcade in Dallas; Texas Gov. John B. Connally, in the same car as Kennedy, was seriously wounded; a suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was arrested; Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president."
The following is a quotation from the address President Kennedy never got to deliver in Dallas on November 22, 1963: "If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be no help."
