It looks like a great book. Interesting times and power, thanks for your short review.

After seeing several of the panel recommend “Apples and Oranges” I thought, hey that one MUST be really good maybe I’ll pick it up! But here I see the author referred to as “our friend”, so I’m wondering if there may be a bit of bias.

Ms. Liz Smith, thank you for these recommendations. I am currently finishing up Ben Bradlee’s autobiography, so I am rooted in the Kennedy era. Mr. Bradlee’s book, by the way, does not compare to yours……I’ve actually skimmed huge sections, which is in violation of the English teacher code. Thanks also for writing Natural Blonde and for contributing to wOw….at a particularly low point several weeks ago, I just held on to your ‘story’, which reminded me that I may have 25+ more years of adventures, so I best be grateful that I’m in pretty good shape for the shape I’m in. Peace and grace

It took me a day or more later to get to this thread on account there are so many wonderful things being said here on WoW. Ok, Liz, I will put this Kennedy book on my reading list just under Vindication of Womens Rights by Mary Wollenscraft which is preceded by a little number called War and Peach by good ole’ Tennessee Tolstoy … just kiddin’ ya’. I prefer the New Yorker, the New Yorker has the funny paper and they have such wonderful ads for jewelry. I will be sure to let you know how that War and Peaches book turns out … I don’t know if I will ever get off the first page on account I can’t tell the men from the women.

I just got a Kindle!!! It is so cool. No more shelves and shelves of dusty books. Stored electronically and holding the device is close to holding a book! I love this thing. And I can download samples of the books you all recommended - it lets you download about 3 chapters as a free sample to see if you want to buy it. So I checked out many of your recommendations. This is some technology I am really excited about. It also lets me access blogs - WOWOWOW! Although I can’t post a reply because Wow thinks it is spam- add that one to your “to do” list Wow techies. So I can access Wow on the plane, anywhere- doesn’t use internet access so you don’t need “hot spots” to have this work. this thing is so cool. You can store all of your favorite books in a 10 oz. device.
