America marked the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Friday with somber, subdued remembrances.

From Gotham’s canyons to the grassy knoll in Dallas, Americans of all generations acknowledged the awful events of Nov. 22, 1963 — the day an assassin’s bullet robbed the country of its young, charismatic leader at a time of turmoil at home and abroad.
