Not surprising, though. I pretty much knew HOW it was going to end, just not the way it was going to end.

I found it interesting that King portrayed JFK (the version that lived) as too progressive for his time (or too much of a pushover, depending on your perspective) - that the country pushed back hard in the other direction and almost elected Goldwater and DID elect some very evil bastards for President later. Of course, that chain of elections really put the country down a dark road.
