JFK's Overdue Library Book

JFK's overdue library book is finally being returned although it probably holds more interest as part of the Kennedy collection.

The Library of Congress book, "A. Lincoln" by Ross F. Lockridge, was found in Kennedy's pre-presidential papers. It has been listed as missing in the Library of Congress online catalog, and will be returned to its collection after the display.  "It has just always been assumed to have been one of his books," said library spokesman Tom McNaught, but the library recently learned "it had been checked out since he was a senator and he had just kept it."

At least it was about Lincoln and not something embarrassing.

Second Life virtual world recreation of Kennedy assassination

A Second Life virtual world recreation of Kennedy assassination is planned with the creation of  a "Second Life version of Dealey Plaza, the Dallas street where President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963."  A marketing firm is behind the recreation (aerial view above) and the invitation-only re-enactment.
