A Nation Mourns:
New portable equipment allowed TV correspondents to make live breaking news reports in the coverage that followed President Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. For the first time, the whole country watched history unfold in real time.

This booklet (far right) chronicles CBS's four days of commercial-free coverage. |
