There was no warning. There could be no preparation. Politics is a world of rough-and-tumble. And the President of the United States - the most powerful single human being in the world - is at the epicentre. But no one could have dreamed or anticipated the biggest seismic shocks America suffered in the 20th century: the assassination of its youngest-ever leader, John F Kennedy, and the disgrace and expulsion of its most successful election winner, Richard Milhous Nixon. The stories of the two men destined for disaster were entwined as they fought a bitter battle for the presidency in 1960. But their fates separate their place in history as one man still earns the grief of an America that hasn't forgotten. And the reputation of the other still buckles under the hatred of a country unwilling to forgive. These are the final days of JFK and Nixon - the victim and the villified.
