Ted Kennedy died at home shortly before midnight on Tuesday. His body was taken from Hyannisport to the Kennedy Library shortly before noon on Thursday. Where was he for the intervening 36 hours? Do they have facilities at Hyannisport to store corpses? Is it practical to just leave the remains in his bedroom with a sheet pulled over for that much time? Was Kennedys's body taken to a morgue and then returned to the compound for ceremonial reasons?

I want to say I played this game around age 12 or 13, so that would be right around 1990 or so. It was a computer game where you played a character in charge of a group of people who are sent back through time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy. [more inside]

Why is Kennedy looking down in his Official White House portrait? A friend of mine asked me this and it's driving me crazy. I can't find the answer anywhere, although I did discover that the painting was done in 1970 by Aaron Shikler, so my guess is that he is looking down because it was painted after his death, but of course I can't find a definite answer anywhere.
