  1. A quotation from John Kennedy

    Woodrow Wilson’s New Freedom promised our nation a new political and economic framework. Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal promised security and succor to those in need. But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises — it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not to their pocketbook — it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) American politician, author, journalist, US President (1961–63)
    Speech (1960-07-15), “The New Frontier,” Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, Democratic National Convention, Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles

  3. A Name Too Many: When Ego Tries to Rebrand History

    When a sitting president flirts with renaming the Kennedy Center, the issue is not branding or humor. It is a revealing glimpse into ego, insecurity, and a dangerous urge to overwrite history itself.

    For more than 60 years, the CIA claimed it had little or no knowledge of Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities before the assassination of President #JohnFKennedy in November 1963. That wasn’t true, new documents unearthed by a House task force prove. The revelation adds fuel to the long-simmering questions around what the agency knew about the plot to murder the president, and what else it may be hiding.

    The documents confirm that #GeorgeJoannides, a #CIA officer based in #Miami in 1963, was helping finance and oversee a group of #Cuban students opposed to the ascension of #FidelCastro. #Joannides had a covert assignment to manage anti-Castro propaganda and disrupt pro-#Castro groups, even as the CIA was prohibited from domestic spying.
