In Popular Culture
In the two-part Quantum Leap episode "Lee Harvey Oswald," Dr. Sam Beckett leapt out of Oswald and into Clint Hill, immediately before the well known shot of Hill leaping onto the back of the Kennedy motorcade. Dr. Beckett feels great guilt that this did not stop the President from being assassinated; however, as Beckett's friend Al points out, in the "original" history, Oswald also assassinated Mrs. Kennedy, which Beckett/Hill prevented.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“It is said the city was spared a golden-oak period because its residents, lacking money to buy the popular atrocities of the nineties, necessarily clung to their rosewood and mahogany.”
—Administration in the State of Sout, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
