Chapter 12 thunder it took me awhile to finish this chapter. The power we give to one is just not right. The gossip the backstabbing just to hold a place in Congress is it really really worth it. We haven't learn from the pass is overwhelming to think Vietnam then Iraq /Afghanistan now and we still don't get it!

Chapter 11/Falling to earth this chapter had a little of everything it was very well described the airplane accident. The aftermath of recovery. Having two brother working in the senate and just the way he expressed about Bobby makes me wonder if things could be different now if both Kennedy's had more time to run this country

Chapter 10/ 1963. Heartbreaking chapter =[ the thought of what could had been achieved and the sorrow that each person that was closed to the president is overwhelming !

Chapter 9 Drinking w/ the Senators... Shame shame shame on all of them. Drinking in their office while dealing w/ national issues is a shame. Times had change indeed !!!!

Chapter 8 the new frontier ... Hard chapter dealing w/ the sickness of the father who was a big influence on their life must had been painful knowing that the sound of his voice wouldn't be hear again heartbreaking. Not really please about Joan's part. Hope there is more later on. I am still on her side for now. Will see if I will change my mind later on.

Chapter 5 the Harvard screw-up... I give him points for given his version of what happen. I wonder if he got off that easy because he was a Kennedy. Great experience he had visiting all those places after the year suspension. Can wait to hear how he would express himself of Mrs. Joan Bennett. I finished the Joan, ethal and Jackie book and to be honest I was not happy how he treated her! But need to hear his side of the story!

Chapter 1 safe harbor/family I love the way senedor Kennedy wrote this chapter. The clear description of the 9 children and the parents was so detailed and clear that i can picture myself there. His description of places, food and table arrangements as well are amazing! Need to go to bed now will continue tomorrow ...
