Need a lift, watch this: JFK's inaugural address
http://www.hks.harvard.edu/jfk50/

With Mark O'connor's Appalachian Waltz as a soundtrack, (He's also one of the readers.)

A few of the readers will make you puke, but still worth a watch.

1. Powerful words, no matter who is speaking them.
Thanks for posting this anniversary piece.

2. If you prefer seeing the original JFK - here's a link

(There are links to an event last week and the speech itself. The event is kind of cool - with leaders speaking of their memories. Nancy Pelosi spoke of going to it as a college student - her dad was Mayor of Baltimore. )
