<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>

評分Having the wisdom to see both sides, to know the dire consequences, and yet went with the unpopular side anyway. Public opinion crushed their future. But these courageous men still managed to walk away with their heads held high and their integrity intact. Only time would tell, and JFK did it for them. Finished on 2015/07/17

評分看不進去,迴頭再看吧。
相对于自由、民主、博爱这些知识分子们所熟知的东西,理性是美国历代政治思想家一再重申并加以践行的信条。因为,政治信仰中如果没有理性,则一切都将沦为空谈的辞令或虚伪的概念。《肯尼迪:信仰在风中飘扬》一书中所提及的人物与事件,无疑都是理性主义的注脚。 《信...
評分一日,一个小伙伴在QQ上问我:“学姐不知道你读到过辛普森的世纪大案” 。我重温了案情,回复她:“任何体制规则都有漏洞。没有绝对的公平,尤其对于利益相冲突的主题。从更长的时间范畴或者更大的范围看,尽量保证总体效果是好的。妥协是不可避免的。某行为在某时间段内是最...
評分 評分信仰,是对某种主张、主义、宗教的极度相信和尊敬,是说起来很虚的东西。但是,从比干不惧纣王剖心、伯夷叔齐不食周粟,到文天祥从容赴死、陆秀夫纵身跳海,到史可法誓不降清、谭嗣同引颈就戳,到刘胡兰、瞿秋白、董存瑞、黄继光英勇就义,却在雄辩的证明,信仰可以给人以勇气...
評分读完《民主的奇迹-美国宪法制定的127天》,就接着看到了这本书。两本书结合在一起读,一种健康的的政治传承、生态和精神开始立体显现。比照这个范例,“江山是打下来的,政府是谈出来的”应成为具有普世意义的政治理念。 边看此书,边问自己,我们中国人近现代在面对这些大开大...
