    Tried responding by mail to this, but the system returned it because
"Host unknown."

    I don't recall a sf story like you describe, but will look through my
library to see if something turns up.  Interesting you should mention Twi-
light Zone.  A few weeks ago I happened to catch the end of an old Twilight
Zone episode similar to the story line you described.  This involved a
great-great-etc. grandson of President Kennedy.  This relative, a historian
and time traveler, got caught up in the tragedy of the assassination and
somehow managed to cause it not to happen.  Because a thing once done can't
be undone without repercussions, it turns out Kruschev gets killed instead.
This isn't the end of it, however.  The change will eventually lead to a
major confrontation between the super powers and an end to the world.  So
the relative goes back to before the assassination, meets with Kennedy, and
explains it all to him.  It ends with Kennedy going off to meet his destiny.
