<blockquote>"This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues-- courage. 'Grace under pressure,' Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight United States Senators and the grace with which they endured them."
-- John F. Kennedy</p></blockquote>
During 1954-1955, John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator, chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.</p>
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, Profiles in Courage -- now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition, featuring a new introduction by Caroline Kennedy, as well as Robert Kennedy's foreword written for the memorial edition of the volume in 1964 -- resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. It is as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword, "not just stories of the past but a hook of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us."</p>

人民代表,是否就意味着一定“代表人民”? 这话听起来像是在玩文字游戏,当然,如果仅是个文字游戏,那它也经不起太多推敲。事实却是,这四个字的背后,还贴着一个昂贵的头衔——民主。 美国的民主一直是我饶有兴趣的对象之一。有幸拜读刘瑜老师的《...
評分 評分十一国庆期间,当国人开始迎来长假时,美国政府也与时俱进地开始了休息,等到国人们带着疲惫的旅行皮囊回到工作岗位时,美国政府还在休息。于是连国人也愤怒了,你丫的闹内讧,搞得我们连林肯雕像都看不成,能不能不要闹?!但问题是,民主党和共和党自顾自地玩起了政治游戏。 ...
評分本书的精要部分不是后面的各位参议员的故事,而是前言。前言中肯尼迪虽然调门太高,但是存有深意,主要有以下几层意思: 一是参议员的负责对象的多重,职责灵活。参议员要对很多对象负责,自己所属的州,自己的党派,美国国会,投票给自己的选民,全体美国人民。还有一个很重...
