J. F. Kennedy was shot on a Friday, Nov 22, 1963, around
12:00 p.m.  If ANYTHING would have been interrupted on network
TV, it would NOT have been TZ.  It would have been a soap opera.
In particular, if you were watching CBS, it would have
been AS THE WORLD TURNS (which was what my mom was watching
at the time).  Now maybe if it was on Friday noght and
there was a special report re: Oswald's capture, etc., 
then maybe it could have been interrupted.  I don`t have my
TV book with me.
