Authentic John F. Kennedy memorabilia can be yours for a bargain price in this rare August 7, 1961 Newsweek magazine featuring President John F. Kennedy and the tough decisions he was facing during the crisis in Berlin with the Soviet Union and Nikita Khrushchev. The feature article reveals the President's "commitment to that beleaguered city with force if necessary; yet he carefully left the door open for negotiation with the Soviet Union." There is also a profile of new CIA head Allen Dulles and much more. As the cover reads, "We intend to have a wider choice than humiliation or all-out nuclear war". You'll also enjoy the feature article "Timeless Jacqueline" which has some incredible art of Jacqueline Kennedy that the French government of Charles de Gaulle gave as a gift to the Kennedys. The gallery "is the work of eccentric French artist Rene Cazassus, whose last big project was equally impressive: A 180 foot portrait of French President Charles de Gaulle". Also in this issue are some great vintage advertising including ads for IBM (for their dictation machines- how cute...), Western Electric telephones, B. F. Goodrich, Pall Mall cigarettes, - don't miss the photos! This vintage Newsweek magazine is in near mint condition, part of a major estate consignment of JFK memorabilia. /14
