I contest none of the facts proffered by Greg and Jim.
Nonetheless, I continue to reject out of hand the argument that spiritual and intellectual development -- and the growth spurts of courage, focus, determination, and insight they stimulate -- somehow did not manifest in what, if I read Jim correctly, for decades was a fully and irrevocably formed spirit/intellect.
Did the Missile Crisis have no impact on John Kennedy's mind and soul?
Did the death of Patrick have no impact on John Kennedy's soul and mind?
