In the Oval Office, US President John F Kennedy (1917 - 1963) holds his hand to his head as he is informed via telephone (by Adlai Stevenson) of Patrice Lumumba's assassination, Washington DC, February 13, 1961. Congolese former Prime Minister Lumumba had been killed (on January 17) several days prior to Kennedy's inauguration, but Kennedy was not informed until nearly a month later.
