Currently reading "An Unfinished Life" about JFK. As a baby boomer, who can forget where they were the day JFK died. We are aware that JFK was a ladies man and father Joe made Richard Nixon look like an amateur but JFK obviously had great leadership qualities and ideas for the world such that to this day we ask what could have been if he had been allowed to live.
As the networks carry JFK specials to recognize which would have been his 100 birthday, his leadership is in stark contrast to todays Washington.
