    THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY Compiled by Ira David Wood III The following is a copyrighted excerpt of THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY compiled by Ira David Wood III dealing with timelines and events surrounding the period of JFK’s presidency. In some instances, sources are noted - i.e. “AQOC” -an abreviation for the book, A Question Of Character. Mr. Wood is currently attempting to list all sources in anticipation of publication. January 19, 1961 Eisenhower and JFK meet at the White House for a final briefing. Eisenhower tells JFK that he must assume responsibility for the overthrow of Fidel Castro and his dangerous government, and recommends the acceleration of the proposed Cuban invasion. Says Eisenhower: “ . we cannot let the present government there go on.” AQOC Eight inches of snow falls in Washington, D.C. tonight. Traffic is snarled all over the city. After a reception, a party, and a concert at Constitution Hall, the Kennedys attend a star-studded gala at the National Guard Armory planned by Frank Sinatra. Boxes cost ten thousand dollars apiece, while individual seats go for one hundred dollars. JFK gets to bed about 4:00 A.M. AQOC January 20, 1961 JFK is sworn in as the nation’s 35th President JFK is sworn in by Chief Justice Earl Warren. JFK is the wealthiest president in American history. His private income, before taxes, is estimated at about five hundred thousand a year. On his forty-fifth birthday, his personal fortune goes up an estimated $2.5 million, in 1962, when he receives another fourth of his share in three trust funds established by his father for his children.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • 7. Analysis of Needs
    7. Analysis of Needs A. Summary of Resource Protection Needs Both our analysis of resource issues and the public input received through the opinion survey and public meetings have pointed toward certain resources which are, or are perceived to be, in great need of protection. The highest priority of survey respondents both in perceived need and willingness to expend tax dollars on resource protection and open space land acquisition was protection of public water supplies . In Mashpee, that means protection of groundwater quality, particularly in the “Zone II” recharge areas of our existing and proposed public supply wells (see Map 4-16). 79% of survey respondents favored Town purchases of open space to protect those areas and 89% considered them their highest priority for protection. The Mashpee Water District’s six operating wells are located off Rock Landing Road (2 wells, Zone 1 area owned by Water District), off Sampson’s Mill Road in east Mashpee (“Quaker Run” well on leased portion of non-conservation Town land), off Turner Road between the Quashnet and Childs Rivers (on 130+ acres owned by the District and surrounded by another 1000+ acres of Town and State conservation lands), adjacent to the Mashpee Village housing project (Zone I owned by the District after taking from the Village) and off Lowell Road (Zone I area purchased by the District from the Town, surrounded by Quashnet Woodlands open space lands purchased from the Belcher family by the Town under the Cape Cod Land Bank Act).

  • Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Restaurant Offers a Distinctive Vision
    Sweet Baby Ray’s restaurant, general release, page 1 Media Contact: Kurman Communications, Inc. (312) 651-9000 Stephanie DeMeester / Catherine Patterson [email protected] / [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Restaurant offers a distinctive vision of authentic high-quality Chicago-style barbecue An unbridled barbecue passion and a unique team of culinary professionals create the definitive Chicago rendition Elk Grove Village, Ill. (May 2008)—For barbecue lovers, barbecue isn’t simply a cuisine, it’s a passion. No one is more passionate about great barbecue than Dave (aka Sweet Baby Ray) Raymond and his partner, Mike O’Brien, owners of Sweet Baby Ray’s Restaurant in Elk Grove Village (800 E. Higgins Rd., Elk Grove Village, Ill.; 847-437-9555). “Barbecue is about having fun,” says Dave. “If you’re not having fun, you’re not having great barbecue.” Dave, Mike and their unique, professionally trained culinary team have great fun every day. That fun translates into serving hundreds of customers daily both at the restaurant and through private catering events. What most people don’t realize is that, behind the smiles and laughter, their barbecue expertise comes from their deep understanding of what goes into barbecue quality. They have developed distinctive, out-of-the-ordinary recipes, source the best ingredients, procure the best cooking equipment and then prepare the food in the painstaking, time consuming manner that is required to produce the Sweet Baby Ray’s signature barbecue. While the name is familiar in most Chicago households, the restaurant, Sweet Baby Ray’s has only been open since December 2007.
