Our words need merely to carry conviction, not belligerence. If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.
- President John F. Kennedy, Undelivered Remarks for Dallas Citizens Council, Trade Mart, Dallas, Texas, 22 November 1963
The moment he walked into the room, all these little children - screaming and playing - there was just suddenly silence….Bob stepped into the middle of the room and just then a little [black] boy - I don’t suppose he was more than six or seven years old - suddenly darted forward, and stopped in front of him, and said, “Your brother’s dead! Your brother’s dead!”…The adults, all of us, we just kind of turned away…The little boy knew he had done something wrong, but he didn’t know what; so he started to cry. Bobby stepped forward and picked him up, in kind of one motion, and held him very close for a moment, and he said, “That’s alright. I have another brother.

Overkill.

Eloquence depends not only on the words but on the man, the subject, and the situation.
- Ted Sorensen
He was a fighting prince never free from pain, never far from trouble, never accepting the world he found, never wanting to be his father’s son. He was a far greater hero than he ever wished us to know.

thesilentist: putthison: Brooks Brothers Sale The Silentist alerted us to a post-Christmas sale Brooks Brothers will be having next week. Starting on Monday, they’re giving the following discounts.  Buy four shirts and get 40% off ($47.70/shirt) Outerwear 30% off Footwear 25% off Casual outerwear 40% off Sweaters 40% off Luggage 30% off Blazers andsport coats 30% off Suits 30% off To sweeten the deal, they’re throwing in an additional 20% discount if you shop on Monday. That puts most things around 50-60% off. Pretty fantastic.  If you’re not trolling StyleForum, then you’re probably going to miss stuff like this, which is where I found the information. Also, I should point out that the extra 20% off is supposedly in-store only. Might want to double-check with your local sales associate about that. My local store rarely has things in my size though (I swear, what’s a guy got to do to find 38Rs in Chicago), but perhaps you’ll have better luck.  As always, I’d highly recommend picking up some of their OCBDs, which are still manufactured in the United States and feel better and better after every wash.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation. ~Robert Kennedy
