Fifty years ago, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas by the bullets fired by a young communist sympathiser, Lee Harvey Oswald. It was then that the Kennedy myth emerged. The myth of a life cut short at full maturity, of a progressive presidency too soon interrupted and of a thwarted American dream. However, half a century after the Dallas assassination and thanks to both the historical perspective achieved over time and to several research works of very high historiographical value, it is possible to separate myth from reality.
This week, we Venezuelans are undusting our worst memories. The looting promoted by Maduro has forced us to face the spectre of Caracazo of 1989. 24 years later, oil 'rentism' is once again taking its toll. With an annual inflation approaching 54% in 2013, basic food shortages and of international reserves that would not even cover a week's imports, Venezuela is plunging into chaos.
The two armies, North and South, had left close to ten thousand dead, rotting in the summer of Pennsylvania, after the battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863), perhaps the most crucial one of the Civil War (1861-1865). The state's Republican Governor, Andrew Curtin, ordered the burial of the bodies days after, previously undertaking an expeditious identification, where possible, to avoid epidemics.
