And Their Flag Is Still Here
Miami may be knocking down the Orange Bowl, the sports stadium storied in legend and song, and the site of John Kennedy’s 1962 encounter with Bay of Pigs veterans ransomed from Cuba.
Shadow of a Gunman
The event came off despite exile claims Kennedy sabotaged the invasion by withdrawing American air support, and Kennedy received the Brigade 2506 flag.
The Orange Bowl will now miss another event, the planned celebration of Castro’s death.
The Republican field continues to try on Ronald Reagan’s clothes, and carry his pen, while denouncing usurpers who are not worthy of the mantel.
But do they want the entire Reagan package? How ’bout the space aliens part?
“Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?”

A spectre is haunting the Presidency. Or two of them. 
Tales of presidential ghosts, just in time for the candy filled delights of Halloween. The McClatchy-Tribune News Service tells the tale of a John F. Kennedy rocker which keeps creaking at Yosemite’s Ahwahnee Hotel 
“When President John F. Kennedy stayed on the third floor in 1962, a rocking chair was placed in his room so he could rock and help alleviate his chronic back pain. After Kennedy’s death, housekeepers began reporting seeing a chair rocking slowly in the room where the president had stayed — even though the room hasn’t been furnished with a rocking chair since Kennedy’s visit.”
Elsewhere, Britannica Blog points to strange doings in Yorba Linda:
“Shortly after Nixon was entombed on the grounds in 1994, a night watchman reported seeing a luminous green mist over the president’s grave.
He also heard tapping sounds emanating from an exhibit room”
