International politics is not my strong suit. The older I get the less certain I am that I even HAVE a strong suit.

You know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan – I was 12 when he was murdered – but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president.
