New York Times Movie Review (above link) Aprill 11, 1966
This 1964 documentary, narrated by actor Gregory Peck, tells the story of President Kennedy’s 1000 days in office, while also showing scenes from his funeral. The film was created to air internationally only, but due to critical acclaim Congress passed a special resolution allowing it to be seen in the United States. The documentary was funded by the U.S. Information Agency and written and directed by Bruce Hershensohn.
Funded by HBO in partnership with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performance Arts, the film was digitally restored in observance of the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s death, November 2013.
Available on DVD by Warner Brothers Home Entertainment. Released 2013.

There’s “Food For Thought” In a Thanksgiving Day Visit to Your House of Worship
T O D A Y , F A R T O O M A N Y of us think of Thanksgiving in terms of food and football — overlooking the fact that there is so much more food offered than that which is placed on the family table. For there is much “food for thought” as well.
Thanksgiving is a time to take stock of life’s blessings . . . to take a bright-eyed child on your knee and talk to him, or her, of things that really matter. . . of their great American heritage and the promise it holds for them. It’s a time to take your whole family to your church or synagogue for an hour of prayer and thanks that will make your holiday mean so much more.
True, our lives are far removed from those of the Pilgrim Fathers. We live in the uncertainty of the Atomic Age. But we also live in the abundance of 20th Century America. Has any one of us so much or so little that he cannot find room or time in his heart to say thanks?
This Thanksgiving, why not take your family to your church or synagogue? Wherever you are . . . whatever your beliefs may be . . . take time to offer your word of thanks.
