Vidal’s American historical novels were often entertaining though rarely instructive. I doubt JFK had to work very hard to persuade him to lie.
Interesting but always take Vidal’s memories with a grain of salt.

Drama about the deep and quiet pain of everyday life used to be everywhere on television. Not so much now. I miss it.
Some fine acting from Jean Alexander & Bernard Youens in Coronation Street (1976)

The Church of England has plenty to say about the slave trade, which Britain banned about 200 years ago. But this, apparently, is fine... 🤷‍♀️

A bishop visited a rural church and found congregants wishing to complain about slavery reparations and Oversight Ministry. He dodged then by making extensive examination of the chancel fittings. Then fled, muttering about 'Bufton Tuftons'. Episcopal rattiness is rising.
