About This Quote

In a 1991 interview, journalist David Halberstam observed that the United States was the only major country that did not have a national day of mourning after the assassination of its president. President Kennedy was the first to die in office, and no one has died since. At the time of his death, he was a double-agent inside Cuba, conducting an espionage operation while secretly trying to weaken Castro's regime through assassination plots.
