@BartA22 Yes, I know that and I agree with your other comments also. Thanks.

@bamabelle327 A lot of men are dogs -- and most don't have JFK's redeeming qualities.

@ScooterpupReljac That is not true. I look the other way for Republicans too. Infidelity (as well as prostitution) has been going on since the beginning of time. Some people are just not monogamous. No amount of castigating & humiliating is going to fix it. That is a more realistic point of ...

I don't care to get into a give & take with Mr. Elden because i don't think I can change his mind and it would be an execrise in futility. It is now known that nuclear warheads were mounted and pointed at the U.S. during the Cuban Missile Crisis and that the generals on the ground were given the...

@gmadsen1000 Reply to your comment from a year ago. He truly was awesome. I want him back. But then I have always wanted him back.

@tomitstube See my answer to The Frogger 15 for another "twist" on the Mrs. Murphy answer. JFk originally intended the "interstate commerce" answer to explain whether or not Mrs. Murphy's institution would be impacted by the civil rights bill as he had proposed it to Congress. But I have heard ...

@skippy3860 The photo was taken by Jacques Lowe & has appeared in 3 books. In all 3 books, it is identified as JFK receiving news of Patrice Lamumba's assassination. JFK DID NOT order Diem killed. There are audio tapes to prove that. Discussion among cabinet about Vietnamese generals wanting...

The crazy person below must be talking about General Curtis LeMay

Thanks for posting this. For those of us who lived this, it is quite touching to be able to go back in time and listen to the comments of the American people . Regardless of who these individuals are trying to pin the blame on, the most obvious fact here is that the American people are shocked ...

@DrBCorwen I do think Jackie thought about divorcing JFK in the late 1950's because of his infidelities - but that doesn't mean the $1 million rumor is true. (I found quote I think is authentic.) I don't believe she ever had any regrets about staying with him. And oh for a fun source, the bo...

I just remember being in such disbelief. This can't possibly have happened to him. It just can't be.

I like the way he tells the photographers: "I think that's enough!"

Actually, I think JFK & RFK were right to drop Sinatra as a friend. This "snub" happened after Hoover came to JFK with the Judith Exner revelation about her association with Giancana. I think that the Kennedy brothers wondered if the mob was using Sinatra to set JFK up. That would be enough to...

Sorensen and others may have written his speeches - but he edited them extensively, sometimes threw out & rewrote whole paragraphs. It is now known that the most memorable passages of his inaugural address were written by him. Also, he wrote a large chunk of the Civil Rights speech himself and ...

@Sovereign4Fan Actually if you go to the JFK Center for the Performing Arts website & find giftshop & click on jewelry, there are replicas of some of the jewelry he gave her. Many designed to have specific meaning and symbolism One example, the Kunzite ring which he bought for Xmas 1963 & was...

@ac998 I agree completely. After the Cuban Missile Crisis he should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. But even if they passed him up in that year, surely one year later he should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for this speech and the signing of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. But they gave the priz...

I disagree with Hewitt. Even if Nixon was made up, he would have lost. It wasn't just about make up. It was also about demeanor & delivery. Nixon was glowering during the debate, his eyes darting back and forth. Kennedy was confident and relaxed. People needed to see that on TV in order to ...
