5. John F. Kennedy Kennedy had a tough time getting many of his domestic programs through Congress. However, he did get an increased minimum wage, better Social Security benefits, and an urban renewal package passed. He created the Peace Corps, and his goal to get to the moon by the end of the 60's found overwhelming support The Democratic Party is now poised not only to rid the United States of the Cheney/Bush Administration political dictatorship, but to overthrow 40 years of failed and self-destructive policies that have turned the United States economy into a ball of rust. The way people felt about John: It was a Shock. There also was a fear that this was a act of foreign aggression. 1961: August 17 -- Construction of Berlin Wall begins

7. The 3 Stooges: The main characters of this show are: Curly Howard Mo Howard Larry Fine The genre of this show is comedy because they are always playing jokes and pranks on each other! And always jacking up something when they have a task! My opinion on the 3 stooges is that they are a great show for kids and adults or just the family I think that you can feel safe with your kids watching this show. My favorite character is curly because he is the one always playing jokes, but everyone has there favorite!! The 3 Stooges is a comedy television show that’s great for a family! The 3 stooges came out in 1930 and are still popular to this year (1961).

8. Cars Snacks Rear-engine cars are fun to drive and even more fun to crash. While rear-engine packaging offers enormous advantages, putting the vehicle's heaviest component behind the rear axle gives cars a distinct tendency to spin out. This a very good snack for kids or even adults! You can eat this snack dry or with milk its good either way. This is the kind of snack that when you come home from work or school it sounds good

He almost died in the 4th grade. his average was 50 points a game!  Nobody could stop this dominant 7' 2" player.  With those features combined, you have a strong player just standing there in your way of the hoop.  His dream was to become a professional basketball player, and his dream came true!
