Pat and Richard Nixon at the JFK funeral

He is GLUM lost in deep thoughts with hands clutched fast to his chest. So what occupies his mind?
For starters, he may be feeling how ironic that the man that barely bested him at the last election lies shrouded near him in a state funeral, career over, KAPUT.
He could be thinking, WOW, if I were the one elected, what happened to JFK could have befallen me and my career--serving as Congressman from Whittier California area, as Senator from California
and then as a 2 term Vice President under Eisenhower would have been in vain.
And my darling Pat would be the grieving widow, not Jacqueline!
My goal has always been to occupy the oval office.
Can it be then that Nixon, sometimes referred to as Tricky Dick has assumed the serious clutched position of grimaced pain?? to hope that someday his dream, his avowed goal, would be realized.
Next what do we make of Pat's more relaxed smile. What does she know that perhaps, we, or even her
hubby, does not.
Fill in the unanswered questions for yourself.
