Surprisingly enough this song was inspired by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of John F. Kennedy, when she was only 11 years old. Don’t go thinking creepy thoughts, Neil Diamond didn’t have any unhealthy obsession with the president’s little girl, but the song came together about five years after he saw a picture of Caroline and her parents on the cover of a magazine. The song itself was to his wife Marsha, but he needed a three-syllable name to make it work. Not long after it was released the song was featured in many TV shows and later on has been featured

The Trump administration released additional material from the John F. Kennedy assassination files Friday, including a 20-page document that tries to connect Martin Luther King Jr. to communist influences, CNN reports. The same document also alleges questionable handling of the finances at King’s civil rights organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and makes insinuations about his personal life that would have tarnished his reputation and been publicly embarrassing. Although it’s uncertain if the information in the document was verified by its author, the apparent mission of the FBI at the time was to discredit King, who, as a leader in the.

How much are Harvard students enjoying having Sean Spicer around campus? Not a whole lot, apparently. The former White House press secretary is now a visiting fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he’s “engaging students in discourse on topical issues of today,” as the school puts it. But based on what students told the Huffington Post, Spicer’s pearls of wisdom have been, uh, severely underwhelming so far. “He’s incredibly inarticulate, so it was really difficult to take any sort of notes,” one student said about Spicer’s lectures.

Premiering at Tiff 2017, Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me is the first major film documentary to examine Davis’ vast talent and his journey for identity through the shifting tides of civil rights and racial progress during 20th-century America.
Today Sammy Davis is seen primarily as part of The Rat Pack. That quartet of bad boys who sing and joke around is very much a part of time when Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were the kings of the Las Vegas scene.
But Sammy Davis Jr. was much more than that and merely by lending his black face to that group makes The Rat Pack seem like a liberal if slightly dissolute, but a filled-with-fun group.

John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, had one of the most idyllic marriages in history. The couple tied the knot on Sept. 12, 1953, and welcomed four children (two of whom tragically passed away after birth) together before the then-president was assassinated in 1963. During their time together, John and Jackie's relationship was the epitome of an American fairy-tale romance: the go-getting young photographer falling for a handsome politician, soon becoming Us royalty and transforming the White House into their very own version of Camelot. We're looking back on the dreamiest photos of John and Jackie - the ones that paint the picture of the fantasy that remains over 50 years after the fairy tale ended.

It was a life that Cheyenne Montgomery, then a 15-year-old sophomore, could never have imagined.
In the fall of 1989, Montgomery stood in awe as she stepped onto the prestigious Choate Rosemary Hall campus in Wallingford, Connecticut, for the very first time, walking the same halls as former students such as John F. Kennedy, Michael Douglas and Glenn Close.
Montgomery was excited to try out sports like riflery and squash — which she had never heard of — and take as many science classes as she could.
“It was like a dream come true,” she tells People.
But within months, that dream began to unravel.

Woody Harrelson gives good cranky, something he’s proven in any number of film performances. Harrelson will have to put all of his grumpy muscles to the test, though, in Rob Reiner’s upcoming Lyndon B. Johnson biopic, Lbj. In a new trailer released today, Harrelson captures a number of Lbj’s grouchy mannerisms—most notably, his famous tendency to conduct business while seated on the toilet.
The acting and the visuals in the trailer both look top-notch, but it’ll be interesting to see how audiences reacts to Reiner’s tone, which looks to elevate Johnson to something close to sainthood, the living instrument of John F. Kennedy’s dreams and will. In any case, we’ll get some good performances out of it, with Richard Jenkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jeffrey Donovan all on-hand to embody some of the biggest names in mid-20th-century politics.

Stephen Colbert went after Vladimir Putin on Tuesday for trying to “confuse the American people with bulls— conspiracy theories,” adding: “That is Donald Trump’s job.” The CBS host was referring to the Russian president’s hard-to-follow answers to accusations that his state hacked the 2016 Potus election. During a recent one-on-one interview with Megyn Kelly, Putin changed that subject to discuss an unpopular theory about the United States government having John F. Kennedy killed.
