First, I should tell you that I know Nick DiChario well (the Nidichar starships in my "Wiping Out," available here through Fictionwise, are named after him). Even so, this is one of my favorite SF stories of all time, and it was no surprise to me (although it was to Nick!) that it was included in the recent anthology THE BEST ALTERNATE HISTORY STORIES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. As a Canadian, it takes a lot to get anything about the Kennedys to resonate with me -- they just aren't part of the Canadian mythos -- but this story, about a brain-damaged JFK who survived the attempt on his life in Dallas, is incredibly moving, and beautifully executed, with not a wasted word. Poignant and powerful. -Robert J. Sawyer, Fictionwise Recommender
