Churchill wanted to commit atrocities by nuking China over the issue of barren rock Hong Kong, admitted as much, but could not push through the program, meaning get american backing.

Truman did the dirty crime against humanity deed in, per cb ilaine, neat and tidy Japan, arguably, completing what Roosevelt meant and prepared to do, definitely. The facts are not in dispute; only interpretation.

Kennedy, the playboy prince, didn't have the balls, and Khrushchev chickened out, and so al ended well enough.

The fact that cb ilaine believe otherwise says much about her.

You and I are almost the same age, I was 11 when Kennedy was shot and in 6th grade at Our Lady of Mercy in Baton Rouge. Monseigneur Marroneau had the bells rung in the church and we all went in and prayed the rosary -- I think he celebrated mass, too, but it's a little fuzzy now.

I just remember everybody in church praying and crying.

A lot of our nuns were Cuban refugees who lived in a big house on church grounds -- the school and the church are on the same grounds. They adored Kennedy.

Then we were all sent home and watched the live coverage of the events on TV.

One of those days you never forget, like 9/11. It may have meant more to Catholics, though, not sure. Certainly the nuns seemed to take it harder than my parents. My dad was a Nixon supporter, for one thing, he never liked Kennedy.

"I remember exactly where I was when Kennedy was assassinated."

I was studying in the Redpath Library at McGill University in Montreal - I was 17.

People started whispering and then some people started crying. When I heard that JFK was shot, something died inside of me. My mother and sister were crying when I got home.

Kennedy was much loved ... the memory is still painful today.
