the kennedy presidency...

has to be tarred and feathered these days, because if we compare the truth of the Kennedy presidency to the one inflicted on us now (not to mention the clambake otherwise known as the Reagan Presidency), Bush and Cheney look like traitors. It's been downhill for the Presidency since 1963, it's arguable that NO-ONE since Kennedy has had his intelligence, his pragmatism, his genuine empathy, and his awareness of reality. His qualities of leadership. Clinton might have come close, but he could not control his appetites in a time when the press was not the gentlemanly club it was in Kennedy's time.
