JACQUELINE Ingen Amerikansk Præsidentfrue Har Som JACQUELINE KENNEDY JACQUELINE KENNEDY Fået Ikonstatus I Hele Verden 160 mm 32 mm 160 mm JACQUELINE Ingen amerikansk præsidentfrue har som JACQUELINE KENNEDY JACQUELINE KENNEDY fået ikonstatus i hele verden. KENNEDY LIVET OM F. MED JOHN SAMTALER KENNEDY I 1964 – året efter mordet på John F. Kennedy – satte hans hustru, SAMTALER OM LIVET MED Jacqueline Kennedy, sig ned med historikeren Arthur Schlesinger, jr., og JOHN F. KENNEDY optog syv samtaler om livet med John F. Kennedy, om præsidentperioden og om tilværelsen i Det Hvide Hus. Således leverede hun både et historisk vidnesbyrd om en af de mest spændende og myteomgærdede perioder i amerikansk historie og den fascinerende fortælling om sit eget liv. Hun udtalte sig aldrig siden om sine erindringer fra den tid. I interviewene, som først blev offentliggjort i 2011 og her foreligger på dansk, giver Jackie et unikt indblik i sit og John F.s liv og præsidenttiden: 240 mm Sobert og ærligt fortæller hun om John F. Kennedy – som menneske og som politiker. Åbenhjertigt og klogt beretter hun om sine indtryk af de store politiske skikkelser, hun mødte: de Gaulle, Khrusjtjov, Nixon, Martin Luther King og mange fl ere. Og med insiderberetninger om de store kriser – ikke mindst Cuba-krisen – kaster hun nyt lys over historiske begivenheder, som blev afgørende for verdensudviklingen. Endelig får vi et levende portræt af Jacqueline Kennedy selv: af en kvinde, der blev gift ind i verdenshistorien, og som indtog sin plads med styrke, charme og begavelse. Og som måtte opleve, hvordan hele det liv, hun havde skabt, med ét slag blev taget fra hende igen: den 22. november 1963, da Lee Harvey Oswald skød og dræbte John F. Kennedy. & BAHNHOF & ROSENKILDE ROSENKILDE & BAHNHOF Med forord af Caroline Kennedy ROSENKILDE & BAHNHOF JACQUELINE KENNEDY JACQUELINE KENNEDY Samtaler OM LIVET MED JOHN F.

Schlesinger, jr., for at dele ud af sine erindringer og indsigter som led i et oral history-projekt [båndoptagede historiske samtaler, o.a.] om John F. Kennedys liv og kar- riere. Optagelserne fandt sted mindre end fire måneder efter hendes mands død og udgør dermed en gave for historikere og et udtryk for hendes kær- lighed til ham. For at behandle samtalerne med den passende respekt gjorde mine børn og jeg os alvorlige overvejelser, før vi besluttede at offentliggøre dem nu i forbindelse med halvtredsårsjubilæet for ​​min fars indsættelse som præsident. Tidspunktet virker rigtigt – der er gået tilstrækkelig tid, til at de kan blive værdsat for deres unikke indsigter, og samtidig har mange Kennedys præsidentperiode i levende erindring og vil finde hendes iagt- tagelser oplysende. Jeg håber også, at yngre generationer, som er ved at stifte bekendtskab med 1960’ernes historie, gennem disse erindringer vil få et indblik i, hvordan historie bliver skabt, og vil blive inspireret til at give noget tilbage til dette land, der har givet os alle så meget. Da jeg var barn, tilbragte min mor meget af sin tid med møder bag luk- kede døre med medlemmer af min fars administration, med at planlægge hans gravsted på Arlington National Cemetery, sørge for, at John F. Ken- nedy Center for the Performing Arts ville afspejle hans engagement i vort lands kulturarv, føre hans ønsker for John F. Kennedy Presidential Library og Institute of Politics ud i livet, og træffe utallige beslutninger om organi- seringen af ​​min fars officielle papirer, personlige ejendele og minder. Hun var fast besluttet på, at Kennedy Library skulle være et levende mindes- mærke, et sted, hvor studerende kunne blive inspireret til at gøre karriere i offentlighedens tjeneste, hvor akademikere ville få adgang til de historiske optegnelser, og hvor familier kunne lære om de idealer, der drev min fars IX FORORD FORORD karriere og hans vision for USA.

  • John F. Kennedy and the Civil Rights Crisis
    executive iNActioN John F. Kennedy and the Civil Rights Crisis John F. Kennedy maintains a reputation in American memory with respect to civil rights that he does not deserve. He campaigned for presidency advocating the end of racial discrimination, but once he took ofce his interests shifed towards the nation’s foreign policy as the Cold War ever threatened to heat up. However, afer Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon B. Johnson re-framed his predecessor’s priorities to push for the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts in 1965 as though they were Kennedy’s prime concern. Tus, Johnson made Kennedy a martyr for the cause, regardless of his predecessor’s agenda. Tis essay explores Kennedy’s action—and inaction—before and during his presidency regarding desegregation in order to explain the dissonance between his life and his reputation. By Daniel Ruprecht ‘17 Stanford University had said: “All this will not be fnished in the frst 100 days. Nor will it be fnished in the frst 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.” Johnson added in his inaugural: “Today in this moment of new resolve, I would say to all my fellow Americans, let us continue.”3 “LET US CONTINUE” Johnson paused as the crowd broke out in applause. It cheered again when Johnson declared his determination to continue “the forward thrust of America that [Kennedy] began,” and again every time Johnson said that he planned on building upon Kennedy’s goals.4 Johnson framed each piece of his presidential plans as an addition or continuation to those of Kennedy.

So far, reports on the contents of the interview say nothing about her rumored affair with actor William Holden, but they do give us a glimpse of a sassier Jackie. But I never put much thought into the First Lady being an asset to negotiations or that she intimately knew so many statesmen.

The book is scheduled for publication in September 2011. Conducted in the spring of 1964 and intended for deposit at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum—not yet in existence at the time—Mrs. Kennedy’s conversations with historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. were part of a wide-ranging oral history project that captured the recollections and reflections of those close to President Kennedy shortly after his death. The seven interviews have remained strictly sealed since then in accordance with Mrs. Kennedy’s wishes. Now, in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Administration, in association with the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Mrs. Kennedy’s family plans to make available both the interview transcripts and the 6.5 hours of audio recordings of those interviews. The book will be edited and introduced by Caroline Kennedy, and will also include historical annotations and contextual explanations provided by a respected historian. The interviews cover a wide range of subjects from John F. Kennedy’s early campaigns to the Cuban Missile Crisis, including Mrs. Kennedy’s evolving sense of herself and her role as First Lady; family and married life in the White House; and President Kennedy’s plans for a second term.

  • The Humanity of Ted Kennedy
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYL\14-2\NYL202.txt unknown Seq: 1 11-APR-11 9:33 THE HUMANITY OF TED KENNEDY Caroline Kennedy* Good afternoon. I’ve heard a lot about NYU Law School from John so I’m happy to be here today and find out it’s all true. On behalf of the members of my family, particularly Teddy, who’s here today, I want to thank the Dean and faculty and the Journal of Legislation and Public Policy for paying tribute to my uncle’s legislative legacy. Others will talk about Teddy’s mastery of the Senate, his far- sighted chairmanship of the Judiciary and HELP Committees, and the major legislation that would not have been passed but for his passion, commitment, and perseverance: the ADA, minimum wage, criminal justice code overhaul, immigration, changing the voting age to eigh- teen, and every major piece of civil and voting rights legislation over the past fifty years. It’s still hard to fully comprehend how directly Teddy’s work impacted the lives of every American. I thought I would just say a few words about him as person, be- cause I think that more than almost anyone else I’ve ever met, Teddy’s humanity is what made him such a legislative giant. Teddy was known to his many nieces and nephews for his big hugs, his big heart, and his come-one-come-all sailing expeditions. When fewer and fewer people wanted to join these death defying ex- cursions, he created the Family History Trip for all generations to visit historic sites together.

  • The Kennedy Administration's Alliance for Progress and the Burdens Of
    The Kennedy Administration’s Alliance for Progress and the Burdens of the Marshall Plan Christopher Hickman Latin America is irrevocably committed to the quest for modernization.1 The Marshall Plan was, and the Alliance is, a joint enterprise undertaken by a group of nations with a common cultural heritage, a common opposition to communism and a strong community of interest in the specific goals of the program.2 History is more a storehouse of caveats than of patented remedies for the ills of mankind.3 The United States and its Marshall Plan (1948–1952), or European Recovery Program (ERP), helped create sturdy Cold War partners through the economic rebuilding of Europe. The Marshall Plan, even as mere symbol and sign of U.S. commitment, had a crucial role in re-vitalizing war-torn Europe and in capturing the allegiance of prospective allies. Instituting and carrying out the European recovery mea- sures involved, as Dean Acheson put it, “ac- tion in truly heroic mold.”4 The Marshall Plan quickly became, in every way, a paradigmatic “counter-force” George Kennan had requested in his influential July 1947 Foreign Affairs ar- President John F.

O’Brien, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATOR: SARGENT SHRIVER’S LIFE AS AN ENGAGED CATHOLIC AND AS AN ACTIVE LIBERAL Name: Martin, Daniel Edwin University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Anthony B. Smith This dissertation argues that Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.’s Roman Catholicism is undervalued when understanding his role crafting late 1950s and 1960s public policies. Shriver played a role in desegregating Chicago’s Catholic and public school systems as well as Catholic hospitals. He helped to shape and lead the Peace Corps. He also designed many of the programs launched in President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Shriver’s ability to produce new policies and agencies within a broader structure of governance is well known. However, Shriver’s Catholicism is often neglected when examining his influence on key public policy initiatives and innovations. This dissertation argues that Shriver’s Roman Catholic upbringing formed him in such a way as to understand the nature of large bureaucracies and to see possibilities for innovation within an overarching structure.
