"What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children—not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time."

How Jack Wants to be Remembered

Jack gave me this message several weeks ago during the week of November 22nd:

"As said, I wish to tell the world that when they think of Jack Kennedy, please do not think of a man who hung around with mobsters, but a man who was for peace. Now, I wish to work for mankind's future. If all men would work for the planet's future, the world would be on course, instead of off course. Please print this."
“What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children – not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women – not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time.”
