43. I still remember vividly the ridicule and scorn...
directed at him for daring to say we should wear a sweater indoors and lower the thermostat.

I still remember vividly how the newspapers engineered his loss by printing the number of days of the hostage crisis every day in the newspaper's headline. Imagine if we did that with war dead these days.

he was hated, he was mocked. I loved him and I will always have him as my greatest memories of what a president could and should be. A moral leader as well as a power and influence wielder.

Even at the age 0f 10~14, he made such a strong impression on me.

K&R for one of the best we ever put in there.
