...This," he announced, "is the greatest week in the history of the world since the creation." That seemed somewhat sweeping for a President who has instituted weekly religious services at the White House: in the Christian view, the birth of Christ surely must rank as a greater event in the world's chronology since Genesis...
...frequent sailing companions. Kennedy was registered at the Shiretown Inn in Edgartown, across the channel from Chappaquiddick; the women were put up at The Dunes, a motel several miles away. Kennedy had raced his yacht, the Victura, that afternoon in the first heat of the annual Edgartown Regatta, an event long attended by members of his family.

It is worth noting that in 1988, another presidential year, Kennedy will be only one year older than Richard Nixon was when he finally won the crucial plurality...
