The Man Who Lived - what if John F. Kennedy survived Dallas?5 Apr

8. A Long Week

As Washington quietly turns on the President, a single gossip-column item triggers an uneasy week inside the White House. A NASA delay leaks, Vaughn Meader strikes a national nerve, and a newspaper hints the President forgot key Vietnam numbers — raising questions about who is talking and why. Strategists in both parties whisper about the race, Malloy steps into the spotlight with effortless calm, and Jackie’s distance from Paris deepens the unease. By week’s end, a late-night reshuffling of staff leaves Jack more isolated than ever, setting the stage for an explosive confrontation still to come.
