sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
I'm currently reading The Kennedys, by Collier and Horowitz. There's a moderate amount from WWII most notably perhaps an account of PT109 although not the most in depth I've seen on that. And a fair amount on Old Joe's efforts to keep the US out of the war, and some mentions of Lindbergh on that score.
My fourth grade teacher's mother was Lindbergh's wife's sister. I'd read a book about Lindbergh on my own when I was in her class, having had no idea about her relation to him. The class was small…
David, “The Kennedy Men” was also very revealing as to the character of those individuals. Jack, the reluctant (playboy, college neer do well) second choice to brother Joe as Joe senior’s quest for dynasty. Daddy Joe’s philandering in full view of wife Rose, Teddy’s impossible chore of “measuring up”. Only Bobby held any concept of ethical compliance. An American tragedy sold as Camelot
Hmmm. Bobby was the one who worked for Joseph McCarthy early in the former's career. He did make up for that in the '60s. And having read two bios of Jack, I never got the impression he was a college ne'er do well--quite the contrary. Daddy Joe certainly did little to hide his philandering.
