The International Olympic Committee announces who will host the 2020 Summer Olympics. Watch the announcement and reactions from Tokyo.
TOKYO—The 1964 Tokyo Olympics marked a shining moment in Japan's history, an occasion that restored national pride after a humiliating World War II defeat and heralded the country's long, victorious climb toward international economic power.
Now after two decades of a painful slump, two years after devastating natural disasters and mounting insecurity about a rising China eclipsing its economic might, Japan is hoping the 2020 Olympics will bring a period of magic one more time.
In Tokyo, residents snatched up newspapers splashed with the news Sunday that the Japanese capital had won the bid to host the 2020 Games. Reuters

The Finalist Cities
The International Olympic Committee chose Tokyo as the host city for the 2020 Summer Games. Madrid and Istanbul were the two other final contenders.
Tokyo's Olympic Plans
The proposed design for the Olympic Stadium was a part of Tokyo's bid for the 2020 Olympics. Tokyo
"Japan Needs the Power of This Dream Now!" the city of Tokyo proclaimed in banners splashed around the city in recent weeks, as it campaigned to host the 2020 summer games. Its dream came true Sunday when the International Olympic Committee chose the Japanese capital by a decisive margin over its two rivals, Istanbul and Madrid.
Setting aside their usual worries and resignation over shrinking paychecks and pension shortfalls, many in Japan responded with unrestrained displays of joy and excitement.
For a nation that has hosted three Olympics in the past—summer games in 1964, winter games in 1972 and 1998—the victory wasn't so much about international recognition of its status or ability. Rather, it is about restoring hope and energy among the nation's weary populace, something many in Japan feel it needs desperately to tackle its numerous challenges, such as mounting government debt, the costly aging of its population, economic and territorial rivalry with China and festering trouble at the Fukushima nuclear-power plant.
Tokyo's victory "tells us if we put our hearts together and push ourselves, we can make our dreams come true," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a television interview Sunday. "For 15 years, Japan has stagnated because of deflation and a recessionary trend. I am convinced we can accelerate growth in the economy if we all work toward the dream and goals we were just granted."
It was also a significant personal victory for Mr. Abe, who took power late last year promising to restore Japan's long-eroded national pride and optimism and has become unusually popular for a Japanese prime minister by jolting markets with a big dose of economic stimulus. Mr. Abe was speaking from Buenos Aires where he arrived Saturday to give a final push to Tokyo's bid at an IOC meeting. Underscoring the importance of the weekend event, the prime minister cut short his attendance at a global summit last week in Russia and traveled for 23 hours to seal the bid
There, Mr. Abe successfully assured IOC members worried about radiation leaks at the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima nuclear plant that many believed doomed Japan's chances. "It has never done and will never do any damage to Tokyo," he said in his speech. IOC members credited Mr. Abe personally for helping win the vote. "The certainty was the critical factor," said Craig Reedie, chairman of the IOC's evaluation commission. "The prime minister dealt with the one big issue," Mr. Reedie said.
Tokyo's success gives older Japanese a chance to look back on the glory of hosting the 1964 games and younger ones an opportunity to learn about a period that was filled with optimism for the future, a luxury that has largely escaped their generation.
As Japan prepared for its previous Olympics, a series of infrastructure projects were implemented, laying the foundation for the nation's modern economy and rapid economic growth over the following decades. The bullet train connecting Tokyo and Osaka started operating just days before the games held in October 1964, and the core of the Metropolitan Expressway, the highway system in central Tokyo, was newly constructed. Tokyo's public transportation network was given a major boost, while the public broadcasting system was upgraded, encouraging families to purchase color television sets.
Investors and government officials are hopeful that hosting the Olympics will stimulate the economy and provide further momentum to Abenomics, the prime minister's ambitious attempt to revive Japan's economy by using a combination of policy steps dubbed "three arrows": monetary easing, fiscal spending and deregulation. Some are already calling the 2020 games the "fourth arrow."
Another key ingredient of Abenomics is psychology—persuading Japanese that better days are ahead, and so encouraging them to spend more, invest more and take more risks. The Olympic victory, and the years of promotional preparation, help underscore that message.

Still, Tokyo had campaigned on promises of hosting "compact" and "deliverable" games, with plans to re-use some of the facilities built for the 1964 games and make the best use of existing infrastructure. So the investments in Olympic-related construction are rather small compared with spending for the 2008 Beijing games or the 2012 London contest—roughly ¥1 trillion ($10 billion) or just 0.2% of Japan's economy last year. In addition, Tokyo estimates the Olympics could create ripple effects in the economy of ¥3 trillion for the country, including ¥1.6 trillion for the city.
Some economists say effects on the economy could be bigger, if the prospects of the 2020 games convinces policy makers to take on more ambitious infrastructure projects, such as much-needed improvement to the Metropolitan Expressway. Kyodo News reported estimates that 8.5 million tourists could visit for the games in 2020, helping amplify an industry Japan has targeted for growth amid the decline of manufacturing. Stocks seen as gaining from the Olympics—notably construction companies—have outpaced the market in recent weeks.

More important, economists say, is the boost the games could give to Japanese public sentiment, something Mr. Abe could use as he begins to battle Japan's grave fiscal woes while also pursuing growth policies. Within a few weeks, Mr. Abe must make a decision on whether to raise the nation's broad sales tax, an unpopular step that risks undermining the modest growth Abenomics has so far generated. "It is very obvious we'll see the national sentiment turn positive. That will make it easier for the government to discuss tax reform and austerity," said Masaaki Yamaguchi, an equity market strategist for Nomura Securities.
For some, hosting of the Olympics is redemption of national pride after years of witnessing its economic prowess erode. Japan has also felt growing heat from neighbors like China and South Korea, as they experienced economic success and pressed more demands on Japan to solve territorial disputes and disagreements over Japan's wartime conduct.
"Japan is a nation with natural ability. It's just that lately, we've lost a bit of self-confidence and grown unsure of ourselves," Shintaro Ishihara, the former governor of Tokyo who is known for his nationalistic views, said on a network talk show Sunday shortly after the Tokyo victory was announced. "But look at our neighbors like China and South Korea that have been making fun of us. How capable are they?"

The 2014 BMW M4 might look this good
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Dec 14th, 2012 at 11:14AM
Once BMW unveiled its all-new 4 Series coupe, we knew it wouldn't take long for digital renderings of the more powerful M4 version to hit the Internet. F30Post worked with digital artist Wild Speed to create some really great renderings of the upcoming M4, and also compiled a good amount of information based on sources and educated hunches. While it doesn't take much to imagine what the M4 will look like based on the styling of current M cars and recent spy shots, these renders finally give us something to ogle at until the car finally arrives. New cues include the more aggressive front... Read More

Jessie Oonark
Canadian, 1906–1985
Big Woman, 1974
coloured pencil, ink on paper
56.3 x 76.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired through a grant from The McLean Foundation
Jessie Oonark, one of the best-known artists of the Canadian Arctic, has had many honours bestowed upon her, including the Order of Canada. Her drawings, prints, and wall hangings have been featured in many group and solo exhibitions, including a touring retrospective exhibition organized by the WAG in 1986. She began drawing shortly after moving to Baker Lake in 1955, and her experience as a talented seamstress is apparent in her approach to design. She compresses many visual ideas into strong single images, and in this print the Inuit amautik, or mother's parka, assumes the force of a feminine symbol. Traditional facial tattoos and the crescent-shaped woman's knife, or ulu, projecting from each side of the woman's head are also cultural attributes associated with Inuit women.

"Blocked out"?
"Blocked out"?
In the vein of above and a bad on-line thesarus....
Unconkable? - two pallys playing marbles?
Hey, first time posting, love the site & podcast. Thought I'd drop a line to attempt a contribution to this terminology thread.
How about changing Hit to "Clean Hit" as a way to describe an attack for which nothing "special" happens (no crit, crush, block, etc)? It's just a clean hit. Thus, instead of "hit immune" we can refer to being "clean-hit immune" (hyphens optional). I've used the term in vent before, when someone asks how much damage I was taking from a boss and I wanted to distinguish what kind of event was occurring. It seemed to be pretty well understood when I said "I took a clean hit for 7k damage."
As for a short term that means "stats that work towards clean hit immunity," I like "deflection," although in my mind that only includes block and parry, excluding dodge or miss. Again, this might be more semantics than combat mechanics, but there you go. Maybe "damage modification," as a complement to "damage reduction" or the term you used in a previous podcast, "handling damage."
Haha: "The tank got one-shotted by a dirty, dirty crush." Sure, that works.
I stand by Block ++.
"passively Block ++"
Acronym: PB++
And if you're hungry: PB++Jelly
Being that you're gambling on facing the attacks of Arthas, the most powerful being on Azeroth, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"
Well, do ya, punk?
Since crushing blows are gone, uncrushable is no longer meaningful. What I'm trying to define as "Deflection" is how often do I take some damage (because of a block) and by inversion, how often does a full hit get me. Because thats the info that I really want to know.
Block/(block+avoidance) tells us that if it is 40/91 (rough numbers from my old uncrittable set I was working on) that 40% of the time I'll take some damage, and 9% of the time I'm catching it right in the face (I know its 11.4% but I'd expect anyone I'm discussing this with to understand 102.4%)
Once we know how much damage a given encounter puts out, we can then figure out the best gear balance for that encounter to put STDs (sudden tank deaths) off the chart (or at least to a lower percentage).
I've actually been giving this a lot of consideration and I think it would take a better mather than I am to figure it out (or at least someone who's not just an anecdotal tester) but I think if we can figure out a given bosse's dps we can put a list out with specific EH numbers so that we can gear more appropriately for specific encounters.
I'm so tanky I get up at 5:40 in the morning.
I would just say:
"Could I have that item for my passive blocking set?",
"I'll use my passive blocking set for this gauntlet", or
"I can passive-block, so kill the elites first".
That has the same connotation as 'guaranteed block', though.
EDIT: I vote for "BATANA"! (Blocking Attacks That Are Not Avoided)
ಠ ,ಠ
Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - it's time to roll the dice
Avoidance of the Marmot is without a doubt the best suggestion so far.
I. Am. Warrior.
My vote is for Untouchable, I can already see the majory of tanks doing the MC Hammer slide everytime someone ask

10/10 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1956: In Game 7' the Yankees win their first World Series championship in 3 years, and the 16th in club history overall, as Johnny Kucks blanks the Bums 9-0. Yogi Berra swats a pair of 2-run HRs and Bill Skowron hits a grand slam. The combination is unprecedented in WS history – not until 1998 will there be another player hitting a grand slam in a game in which a teammate hits 2 homers.. Don Newcombe takes the loss' his 4th in Series competition.
1951: Hank Bauer's bases-loaded triple propels the Yankees to a 4-3 win for their 3rd straight championship, and the 13th in the annals of the franchise. Just before the game' Leo Durocher turns over to Ford Frick a letter he received in which the writer offered the Giants' manager a $15'000 bribe 'if the Giants manage to lose the next 3 games.'
1937: Lefty Gomez wins again' and the Yankees wrap up the Series, their second in a row, and sixth overall, Gomez himself knocks in the winning run in the 4-2 clincher. It is a record 5th WS win' without a loss' for Gomez. Another record is set as the Yankees complete the 5-game Series without an error.
On other 10ths of October…
2005: The Angels beat the Yankees 5-3 to win their Division Series. Rookie Ervin Santana (below) gets the win in relief of Bartolo Colon, who is forced to leave the game in the 2nd inning with a shoulder injury. Garret Anderson homers for LA while Derek Jeter connects for NY.
2001: The Yankees fall to the A's' 5-3' in the first game of their Divisional Series. Terrence Long hits a brace of HRs for Oakland and Jason Giambi adds another. Mark Mulder gets the win for Oakland as Johnny Damon goes 4-for-4.
2000: The Mariners defeat the Yankees 2-0 to take the opener of the ALCS. Freddy Garcia and the Seattle bullpen combine on a 6-hitter' while Alex Rodriguez hits a home run.
1998: The Yankees even the ALCS with Indians at 2 games apiece on a 4-hit' 4-0 tag-team shutout. Orlando Hernandez hurls the first 7 innings' while Mike Stanton and Mariano Rivera finish up.
1996: Baltimore's 5-3 win over the Yankees in Game 2 evens the ALCS at 1 game apiece. Rafael Palmeiro's 7th-inning homer is the key blow.
1995: George Steinbrenner is fined $50'000 for remarks critical of the umpiring in the NY-Seattle Dvision Series.
1980: George Brett sends Kansas City to their first World Series by belting a 3-run HR off Rich Gossage in the 7th inning to clinch a 4-2 Royals win and a 3-game sweep of the LCS. It is sweet revenge after 3 ALCS losses to the Bombers.
1978: With 2 homers and 5 RBI, Davey Lopes leads the Dodgers to an 11-5 victory over the Yankees in game 1 of the World Series.
1976: Kansas City even the ALCS with a 7-3 win over New York behind Paul Splittorff's 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
1964: After Jim Bouton and Curt Simmons battle to a 1-1 tie through 8 innings' Mickey Mantle launches one into the upper deck in right on Bafrney Schultz's first pitch in the 9th' and the Yankees win 2-1. The Yanks now lead the Series 2 games to 1.
1962: Following a rainout' New York overcome 2 San Francisco leads' and Tom Tresh's 3-run 8th-inning HR off Jack Sanford gives the Yankees and Ralph Terry a 5-3 win, and a 3-2 series lead.
1960: Bill Mazeroski (below) stars again. His 2-run double stakes Harvey Haddix to a 3-0 lead. Roy Face is called on once more for a hitless relief effort to preserve a 5-2 win over the Yankees and 3-2 WS lead for the surprising Bucs.
1943: Marius Russo, who had as disappointing regular season' pitches and bats the Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Cards. He allows just 7 hits and his double knocks in the winner to put the Bombers up 3 games to 1 in the World Series.
1930: The Yankees announce that they have signed Joe McCarthy to a 4-year contract to manage the team. The Cubs made him available one year after he had led them to a pennant' and the Yanks lost no time in signing him. McCarthy will lead New York to 8
pennants and 7 World Championships before resigning in 1946.
1926: On a drizzly New York afternoon' only 38'093 show up at the Stadium for the deciding World Series contest. Grover Cleveland Alexander' possibly sleeping off a hangover in the bullpen' barely notices when Jess Haines take a 3-2 lead over Waite Hoyt into the 7th. Haines weakens in the last of the 7th as the result of a blister on his pitching hand; 3 straight walks put Earle Combs, Bob Meusel and Lou Gehrig on base with 2 out and Tony Lazzeri at the plate. Rogers Hornsby then waves in Alexander for one of the most dramatic confrontations in WS history. On a 1-1 count Lazzeri hits a line drive into the left-field seats' a few feet to the foul side of the pole' then swings and misses for strike 3. Alexander sets the Yanks down in order until Babe Ruth draws his 11th walk with 2 out in the 9th' and is thrown out in an inexplicable attempt to steal second. (This is the only time that WS has ever ended in this manner.) The Cards and the city of St. Louis have their first World Championship. Each winner collects $5'584.51; the losers' $3'417.75 apiece.
1923: For the third year in a row it's a subway series. In the first World Series game at Yankee Stadium' the home team take a quick 3-0 lead' but Heinie Groh triples in 2 runs in a 4-run 3rd that drives Waite Hoyt (17-9) to cover. A 4-4 tie is broken in the top of the 9th by the Giants when Casey Stengel's long fly drops in and rolls to the outfield wall. The sore-legged veteran hobbles around the bases for an inside-the-park homer that is the winning run against reliever Joe Bush (19-15) before 55'307 spectators. This is also the first Fall Classic to be broadcast on a nationwide radio network. Graham McNamee' aided by baseball writers taking turns' is at the mike. Grantland Rice had broadcast an earlier WS' but not nationally.
1921: In game 5 of the WS, an unearned run in the first is all the Giants can manage off Waite Hoyt despite 10 hits and a walk. A 1-1 game is decided in the 4th when Babe Ruth catches the Giants' infield unawares with a perfect bunt' then makes it home on Bob Meusel's double off Art Nehf. Meusel scores on a sacrifice fly' and 3-1 is the result, as the yanks take a 3 games to 2 lead. The 35'758 spectators bring the players' pool to a record $302'522.23.
1904: On the final day of the season' a doubleheader split will give the leading Boston Americans the AL pennant over the Highlanders. 30'000 are on hand at Hilltop Park for the contests. With the score 2-2 in the top of the 9th and a man on third, Jack Chesbro lets a spitball get away from him for a wild pitch' and Lou Criger scores Boston's winning run. Bill Dinneen then stops New York in the 9th' hurling his 37th consecutive complete game of the season for an AL mark. New York win the meanignless second game' chilling George Winter who goes the route in a 1-0 loss to the hosts. Boston take the AL flag by 1 1/2 games, asd their pitchers achieve 148 complete
games – an AL record. Both leagues set marks for total complete games: AL 1'098' NL 1'089.

80 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 % Cabernet Franc, 6 % Petit Verdot, 2 % Merlot, and 2 % Malbec
An intriguingly deep color leads to highly fragrant aromas and fleshy dark fruits, sage, bay leaf, and a gentle touch of black pepper spice on the palate with a savory finish that all work seamlessly together. The lively freshness and good structure came easily with the cooler season and patient barrel maturation provided exactly what we love about Oakville cabernet sauvignon: its dense, rich mouth feel, complexity and long finish.
Appellation: 100% Oakville District, Napa Valley, 93% To Kalon Vineyard

Einstein's brain was unusual in several respects, rarely seen photos show
By Michael Balter
Albert Einstein is widely regarded as a genius, but how did he get that way? Many researchers have assumed that it took a very special brain to come up with the theory of relativity and other insights that form the foundation of modern physics.
A study of 14 newly discovered photographs of Einstein's brain, which was preserved for study after his death, concludes that the brain was indeed highly unusual in many ways. But researchers still don't know exactly how the brain's extra folds and convolutions translated into Einstein's amazing abilities.

The hood integrates a Phasic™ AR panel that can be worn as a neck gaiter, or, if conditions warrant, be deployed as a balaclava for full face coverage. The Phasic™ material provides added warmth and has exceptional moisture wicking properties and stretch.
The Konseal Hoody's design takes a focused, minimalist approach. The fit is trim and precise. Gusseted underarms and articulated patterning provide ergonomic freedom and prevent the jacket from riding up while reaching. The front zipper runs deep for quick ventilation, and thumbholes help keep the sleeves secured in place while providing a layer or warmth and protection for the hands.

Sometimes I think there isn't a man out there looking for a woman in my age category (77) I still have lots of life in me, love to do lots of things, but I haven't had any interest shown in me. Is it the age, or am I doing something wrong (or not doing something right)?
hi luanne, if only the men would look past a number and view your profile, then they would see a very charming and active woman. yes there are plenty of men past 70, search from 69-80 with unlimited miles and you will see them, and also see whom is online.
i have a few aunts and uncles that were in their 70's and married for the 2nd time. love is possible, and if you want it bad enough, just click on their picture.
hopefully, they will recognize that your smile is genuine, and will message back... but only if they are a member!
I just saw a video clip the other day about two people in their 80's who knew each other in high school and hadn't seen each other in person since then. They both had married and their spouses were deceased. They reconnected and he was travelling to see her in person for the first time since high school. He was soooo nervous. It was the nicest thing. They were sooo happy to see each other. They had been messaging and skyping each other before they met. He liked her and could not wait to see her at the airport. They hugged and hugged each other. It was really a very nice video and I believe love is possible at any age. :)

Two years ago, my Dad officially started dating my godmother. Dad had been a widower for 20 years and my godmother had been a widow for 4 years. Dad is 80 and my godmother is 86. They are the sweetest couple and so happy together, and Dad is happier than I have seen him in a long time.
- Elizabeth
Yes, I do see men in my age category, but very few in my area. It would be kind of hard to leave all my grandkids behind and move somewhere across the country, although I do have a daughter in Virginia who I miss seeing as much as I would like. I still travel cross country to see them by car as often as I can. I sure would like to have a companion traveling with me, though (smiles).
Hi Geri!
Yes, I met my second husband at a Senior Center and we were extremely happy together. Unfortunately, 2 months after we married, we found out he had Leukemia, and we only had 5 years together before he passed away. But they were the happiest 5 years of my life; we held hands and attended daily Mass together, and I long to have that wonderful companionship again. It has been 8 years since he died and I think it's time for me to meet someone new, who loves the Lord as much as I do.

Fleetwood Mac
Rob Loud/Getty Images
By Jon Caramanica
Fleetwood Mac, in its golden years, seems to cater to two different constituencies: Lindsey Buckingham, with indulgent guitar playing and general air of preening, tries to keep a low-burning flame lit. Stevie Nicks, his former lover, appears content to be laurel-resting, coasting on a blend of shawls, twirls, and, occasionally, piercingly cloying vocals (a screen scrolling words -- lyrics presumably -- at her feet). The rhythm section -- the drummer Mick Fleetwood and the bass player John McVie, for whom, together, the band is named -- soldier on like exceedingly tolerant parents. Mr. Fleetwood, ponytail intact, plays with force, if not grace, and Mr. McVie succeeds for not drawing notice. In a band so obsessed with role playing, such restraint qualifies as innovation.
"There is no new album to promote," Mr. Buckingham teased early in the band's concert at Madison Square Garden on March 19, 2009, "yet." But even the most rabid Fleetwood Mac fans probably don't crave the distraction of new songs and were perfectly content with the show, designed as a hits revue and sticking closely to the band's 1975 self-titled album (the first to feature the Buckingham-Nicks combo) and its followup two years later, the tragicomic "Rumours," one of the biggest-selling albums of all-time. Particularly on the break-up songs from that album, Ms. Nicks and Mr. Buckingham still had a touch of zest, rare moments of lightness here. Mostly, though, the band sounded desiccated, so when it aimed for transcendence, it fell flat.
And just like 30 years ago, the band succumbed to an obstacle of its own creation, and its name was "Tusk." That 1979 album, driven by Mr. Buckingham's experimental impulses, was an overreach, burdensome and needlessly decadent. After the band played the title track and "Sara" midset, it never fully recovered.

Fleetwood Mac, the Anglo-American conglomerate, will celebrate its 40th birthday in a few years.

Compared with the group's long career, a presidential term is merely a passing fad: Fleetwood Mac was there in 1993, to play Bill Clinton into office, and the group was there eight years later, to play him out.May 27, 2003 artsReview

A Thousand Days John F. Kennedy in the White House (Paperback) Book

The A Thousand Days John F. Kennedy in the White House book by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is a tribute to the man who fascinated the world. In spite of his abbreviated term as president of the United States, JFKs legacy continues to live on to this day. The John F. Kennedy book, available in paperback, portrays the charismatic leader with insight and empathy.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr.'s A Thousand Days John F. Kennedy in the White House book has a very special meaning for me. In 1960, I was in the crowd on 39th St. and Broadway, in The Garment Center in New York City, when Kennedy, his voice hoarse from relentless campaigning, addressed the crowd about his vision of a new America and a new generation taking charge.
In the Thousand Days John F. Kennedy book, Schlesinger, an important member of the Kennedy circle and a man who had Kennedy's ear, draws an unforgettable portrait of the man who captured the imagination and the hopes of people, not just in America, but all over the world. Standing in that crowd on 39th St., it was easy for me to believe that this man, seasoned by his experiences in World War II, his vision shaped by a knowledge of history and America's place in it, would not be beholden to the customs and beliefs of the leaders born in earlier generations.
In the JFK book A Thousand Days, Schlesinger makes this point emphatically. Kennedy was born later then Adlai Stevenson and later then Lyndon Johnson. Kennedy really believed, and communicated this belief eloquently, that men and women of his generation could really make a difference. The focus in the Arthur Schlesinger book A Thousand Days is the Kennedy Administration's role in foreign affairs. Even with that focus, what emerges is Kennedy's refreshing escape from the conventions of previous politicians. Read the A Thousand Days John F. Kennedy in the White House book to learn that Kennedy's choice of Douglas Dillon as Secretary of the Treasury was a choice that Schlesinger himself originally opposed. Kennedy chose Dillon because he thought he was the best man for the job, not because of his particular political persuasion. In the John F. Kennedy book, Schlesinger remarks that Nixon might have made Dillon his appointment had he won the election.
Kennedy's confrontations with Khrushchev, The Cuban Missile Crisis, the South American venture, the Alliance for Progress are presented clearly and convincingly.
The JFK book reflects on the fact that we will never know what direction this country, or the world, would have taken had John Kennedy been granted another term in office. Surely, he would have learned from his mistakes, which Schlesinger reveals. As the Arthur Schlesinger book concludes, the Kennedy imagination, intellect, and belief that his administration could really do something to make the world a better place will live with all of us as long as we live.
Buy the A Thousand Days John F. Kennedy in the White House book for an insightful portrait of one of Americas most famous presidents.
