    In the name of our country

    Why was President Kennedy put on a pedistal? His words were far greater than his deeds. I found the reading intriging and I am confounded by the publics' perception of THE MAN. I have great sorrow for what happened to him and his family. Also, it is frightening to me what man can do to man..a must read.
