Is it true that JFK had no tax cuts passed?
He proposed tax cuts in 1962; they were passed in 1964. [3] On a larger subject: the "Domestic Policies" section of the JFK article seems pretty dismissive. Certainly it's wrong to imply, as strongly as it does, that the tax cuts passed in 1964 owed little to his efforts. John Broughton 15:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
A quick scan of my old Ency. Britannica noted as accomplishments: Cuban missle crisis, which may have helped lead Kruschev to sign, 10 mos later, the nuclear test ban treaty. It notes that Congress was indeed wary of his domestic plans (one that passed was the Peace Corps) in part because of the closeness of the election -- but that Kennedy was convinced he would win a 1964 landslide against Goldwater, and get the mandate for the massive tax cut, and civil rights leglislation that he wanted. -- Sholom 21:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
RFK campaign missing some good details
Great Society is kinda short . . .
Interesting article at [4] , which, if its information were incorporated here, would effect articles on Everglades and Fla Gov John W. Martin (where all this is missing), and adding to the following articles where it is mentioned to some degree: Lake Okeechobee , 1926 Miami Hurricane , and Herbert Hoover Dike .

Ed Buckham , Jack Abramoff , U.S. Family Network (and perhaps Tom DeLay ), need some major updating b/c of the info in this article [5] , does the Abramoff template need to include U.S. Family Network ?
