One for a moment, not because its not an interesting question but because i really have to think that through. Eisenhower and reagan have gotten comparisons because of their age, because of their politics, and because of the size of their victories, but im the times were so different. Id have to think about that one. But in terms of what happens with the moment in milwaukee, one way of looking at this is that eisenhower deluded what could have been a strong statement of support for his mentor.

I happen to be lucky enough to be working with the kennedy tapes during that period when kennedy was taping during nap period so i had this remarkable window. I wanted to sort of extend the story of the missile crisis to find out what happened then becaus
And i think that he felt a response ability because theres nobody, he felt a responsibility to say well, without a body, without dna evidence, can we really say for sure that this man is dead . To the phantom that escapes how many times managed to escape a month time as adolf eichmann. At the top of most wanted list have been ostracized presents at, but not a lewdly sure. That is through the case remains from his perspective to this day. The macquarie convinced he had yes. Everyone while u. S. Yourself, but its very clear from the evidence in the German Authorities they declared him dead as well. The book is called the eternal nazi. Nicholas kulish, souad mekhennet, thank you very much.
