Are the flags, the key? I suspect that every flag shown, of every country, has an element of white in it -- including several where it features in small devices which don't show up on-screen in the post.

When John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1964 and Lyndon B. Johnson took over as President, who replaced LBJ as Vice-President until the next presidential election?

Hubert Humphrey?

No. He was VP when LBJ was elected in his own right. (“Whatever became of Hubert?” A song by Tom Lehrer.)

1963 not 1964

Oops. Yes, it was 1963.


Correct. Until the Twenty-fifth amendment in 1967, there was no mechanism to fill a vacant intra-term VP’s post. A good thing they produced that, otherwise things would have become very interesting under Tricky-Dicky.

To you the baton of office.

Do they all have two parts? (not sure about the Irishman - northerner and southerner perhaps?)
