...Living. Looking back, Rubinstein realizes now what a pitiable thing it was to try to snuff out his life on that day nearly 60 years ago. "When I went out into the street," he recalls, "I came back from death. I was reborn. I suddenly realized what a damn fool I had made of myself. There were people moving through the street, dogs were running around, flowers were growing in a little park?it was a wonderful, divine show.

Somebody screamed, "Cut off his hands!" The villagers roared in approval. "What will...
...aluminum crises. Kennedy exhibited his honest anger publicly and had the courage to be his own spokesman. Johnson, devious and cowardly, forced his subordinates to speak for him. I prefer Kennedy's method; the public knew exactly where he stood. If Johnson thinks he has been able to fool the public by staying behind the scenes, he is greatly mistaken; he has only earned himself disrespect...
