Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser.

The film was officially released on September 8. Was this a preview in Seattle? Or was the Marquee advertising the film to come (Aw c'mon.)? This photo was taken on September 6.

I wonder if the photographer waited in that spot a long time for that shot. Just brilliant. Maybe he is still alive and someone can ask him. And those sure do look like secret service guys to me. Many stories we hear now about Kennedy are apocryphal, but many are merely slightly hyperbolic. Great shot. I wonder if the photographer waited in that spot a long time for that shot. Just brilliant.

My "Ugh" was more of a reference to the fact that if you drive around like this, you're likely to get a bullet in the head. Photos like this are interesting, obviously, because they show the way things used to go. Nickbob: Good points.

Quite the contrary, we left a better world behind after JFK took the bullet in Dallas, and I find that manner of openness refreshing. The White House used to be wide open to citizens, whose house it is. OTOH, McKinley, Teddy R, and FDR were targets in the preceeding 60 years, McKinley fatally, Teddy merely wounded (and went on with a speech with a bullet in his chest), and the mayor of Miami was killed instead of FDR. Leaders of that era took the risks in stride and did their best to stay in touch with the people instead of living in security bubble. Not really possible anymore, and it's worse than a shame. This photo is mildly famous, somewhere I've believe that I've read that that local democratic pols (Senators Jackson & Magnuson) got quite blasted with JFK on this trip. Maybe I'm making that up, it would be a grand story even if it's not true. “Ugh”?

I wonder if the "Aw, C'mon" prefix was something the theater came up with, or if it came from the studio's promo department? The movie was released Sept. 8, 1960, Marilyn's third to last film, and included the song, "My Heart Belongs To Daddy". (us.imdb.com/title/tt0054022/) What a contrast in security to Barack's "Beast", the new presidential limo. Ironic connection indeed!
