On November 22 1963, in Dallas, Texas, US president John F. Kennedy was murdered. The official story is well known. Shall we ever know the real one ?
I was serving my last days in the Belgian army in Arnsberg, Germany. I shall never forget the panic which followed the news of the assassination. Fortunately, contrary to general belief, the Soviets were not coming !
Less than two months later, I started my professional carrier in a world which was totally and completely different from the one I am retired in now.
On November 22 1990, British prime minister Margaret Thatcher withdrew from the conservative party leadership election, confirming the end of her premiership. Sighs of relief were heard all over Europe.
Tempus fugit ... for better or worse.
