FOOTNOTES
* The sentence means: “But you have not seen my sister? She is so young, I’m scared.”
* Profiles was Kennedy’s second book. The first was Why England Slept, his senior thesis at Harvard about Britain’s policies in the years leading up to World War II. Arthur Krock, his friend at the New York Times, encouraged him to publish the manuscript, which was about the conflict between democracy and dictatorship and the relationship between leadership and freedom. Published in 1940, it was reprinted when he was president and became a bestseller.
