John F. Kennedy

You realize, Merry, that that means "thinking people", the limited number in the US that say, "yes, we have to really hold these war criminals presidents to account.

@Letty,

I can't agree with that Letty. I'm frightened to death of women of a certain age with attitude. And you don't need to be able to recognise Einstein in a pub-quiz photo in order to understand them.
