        I’m biased. I lived across the water from the Kennedy compound while this was happening. I even passed out fliers for the 1960 election.

        In 1960 election, I hand printed matchbooks:"KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT" and gave some to him when he came through Pennsylvania (JFK shook my hand). The Allentown Call error: "Bismarck's social security program" they garbled as "Karl Marx social security program." Maybe U can find it!

        It’s the real thing, though it’s fair to assume she was possibly joking about Castro. With Rose Kennedy though, one can never tell for sure. 🤓

        Was his mom the "back channel" that saved us from nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis?
