Keni Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have the book with the letters in! Bought it at a jumble sale about 10 years ago. A good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 First started listening to this just before Kennedy was elected. Followed it regularly from then on.. I will always rember the broadcast just after Nixon resigned which had been recorded before he had done so. Cooke as the true professional finished with the words "the rest you know". Pure genius.
