Happy Birthday JFK

Woulda been 97 today. Interesting article in the Atlantic re: the complexity of what we think of his presidency over the last 50+ years:

Perhaps we can’t, anymore, simply praise Kennedy. But neither can we bury him. For his part, John L’Heureux, like President Clinton, now admires Kennedy for having succeeded in laying the foundation for Lyndon Johnson’s subsequent progress on civil rights. “Laying foundations,” L’Heureux told me, “is no small thing.”

And JFK was nothing if not a man who knew a little something about getting things laid, of course.

"Good one Xmastime!"
