Daily Kos: 48 years ago today

Daily Kos: 48 years ago today:

48 years ago today

the world suffered a great loss, and I do not mean the death of a President. On the same day my generation was shocked by the assassination of John F. Kennedy. the literary world lost two giants from England, Aldous Huxley and C. S. Lewis.

Because of Kennedy their deaths went almost unnoticed by most of the world.

Both authors played a significant role in my life, Huxley while I was in high school, before the death of Kennedy, Lewis later when I was on a spiritual pilgrimage.

Allow me to take a few moment to remember each.
