JFK Page #4

JFK:

What kind of peace do we seek? Not

a pax Americana enforced on the world

by American weapons of war... We

must re-examine our own attitudes

towards the Soviet Union... If we

cannot now end our differences at

least we can help make the world

safe for diversity. For, in the

final analysis, our most basic link

is that we all inhabit this small

planet. We all breathe the same

air. We all cherish our children's

future. And we are all mortal...

CONCLUDING KENNEDY IMAGERY

Diplomats at the United Nations... Adlai Stevenson, Castor...

Martin Luther King and the March on Washington (a snatch of

his "I Have a Dream" speech)... Bobby Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa

going at it... U.S. Steel Chairman's remarks in the steel

face-off, men going to courtrooms with briefcases,... Teddy

Kennedy, Rose, Joe, the Kennedy family, all teeth and good

looks... and of course John campaigning, always campaigning,

shaking hands, smiling, that supremely warm smile and sense

of grace and ability to convey to crowds their oneness with

him... forever... culminating in the more specific Texas

shots... with Jackie in San Antonio, and Houston... then at

Fort Worth... then at Love Field moving through the clouds

toward the Dallas/Forth Worth plain which suddenly breaks

into view as we descend...

LOUISIANA HIGHWAY - DAY (1963)

A moving car carrying two Cuban males disgorges a rumpled,

screaming woman, Rose Cheramie, a whore in her thirties,

lying there bleeding in the dirt. The car drives off.
