Undoubtedly.I'm just not sure which side we'd help.:o

AARRRGH!!!!! ;)

Somewhere Keith Laumer is smiling!

The Earth passed through the tail of Halley's Comet in 1910,and there was a good amount of media attention as well as some proto-SF stories about catastrophes from space.A strike on the order of the Barringer Crater impactor or a bit larger on any of the belligerents during WW1 would change...

Bobby Sherman as Michael,Troy Donahue as Sonny,Bob Denver as Fredo,Woody Allen as Tom Hagen,Shelley Duvall as Kay. And Jonathan Winters as Vito.:eek:

Hmm.......I think one could argue that the difference between a "Self-Defense Force" and a "Military" is largely semantic,but I also think that the kamikazi fanaticism with which the Japanese military conducted operations put something of a scare into the Allies,and likely we were at some pains...

A milder version. The Pill hit the market in 1960,right in time for the Baby Boomers beginning to have need of what it did.Things began to loosen up about then,and would have gone on loosening up,although it wasn't talked about any more than what Richard Nixon privately called JFK's...

Flubber is right about that era.Kennedy misbehavior was well-known,but drew no media attention.Teflon not yet having been invented,the phrase "Gentleman's Agreement" was applied to the non-disclosure arrangement between the media and those who appeared therein... I think one could argue that...

Geon,I lean toward agreeing with you.While ITTL there would likely have been an almost hysterical celebration of thankfulness at Kennedy surviving that would have given The Lads a good-sized bounce,Beatlemania would not have been nearly as manic,because JFK was there to draw off the pop-culture...

That's where it went OTL.According to the OP's parameters it missed and Kennedy is uninjured.

I'm certain Kennedy would have run again,and won a little bigger than he did in 1960.The Republican ticket would likely have been Scranton-Goldwater,but like '96 and '08 the nomination would have been to honor respected Republicans and the party would just have been going through the motions...

"Starship Troopers" with Jude Law and Ashley Judd as Johnny Rico and Carmen Ybanez. De-emphazise the Bugs' ASB aspects,dial back a little on the violence and bring up the wartime domestic psyops... Or else subtly recut the OTL film and you have another "Fargo"-esque comedy. :eek:

Subtly recut "Dune" and rerelease it as a "Fargo"-esque dark comedy. :rolleyes:

After being snubbed by the Kennedys,Monroe confidant Frank Sinatra uses his Syndicate connections to put discreet security on MM,incidentally getting compromising photos of her with John-and Bobby.Her security intervenes on the the critical night of August 5th,and Monroe recovers from the...

An ATL Nixon shrewd enough to bring Everett Dirksen's son-in-law out of the Senate,where he could be a dangerous foe,as he was IOTL,into the Vice-Presidency where he can't really do much of anything except look good is an ATL Nixon shrewd enough to beat Ho Chi Minh,the antiwar movement,and the...

Howard Baker being Veep and not in the Senate will make the Watergate hearings somewhat different,so maybe impeachment is unsuccessful,if it happens at all.

Which butterflies away the Gretsch Discussion Pages,where Deed Eddy(the current Mrs. Duane) is a frequent and valued contributor.Since I'm a member there who found out about this forum from another GDP'er,I wouldn't be typing this post as we speak!:eek:

Country music bears much more of the syrupy-strings Nashville influence,and Willie Nelson is much less well-known than IOTL.Holly's feud with Norman Petty over those Bogarted royalties (which sent him out on that tour to begin with) ends up in a nasty court fight,which Petty loses.He and Holly...

As long as Brian is alive,the band has more of their early killer-live-act work ethic and are less subject to outside influences.Yoko,the Maharishi,Allen Klein,and Apple,with all the parasites who hung around Apple are either butterflied away or have greatly diminished roles. A further POD is...
