Quote of the Day

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death."

- John F. Kennedy

In April 1945, Kennedy's father, who was a friend of William Randolph Hearst, arranged a position for his son as a special correspondent for Hearst Newspapers; the assignment kept Kennedy's name in the public eye and "exposed him to journalism as a possible career". He worked as a correspondent that May and went to Berlin, covering the Potsdam Conference and other events.
