Civics Eleanor Roosevelt remained a popular and active political figure after her husband’s death. During the 1960 presidential campaign, she appeared in a television commercial urging people to vote for Kennedy because he was the man to improve human rights. Her appearance indicated to traditional Democrats and women that Kennedy was the man for the job. CC 1-1

Camelot In December 1960, Camelot, a musical starring Richard Burton and Julie Andrews, opened on Broadway in New York City. The Kennedys attended the show, which told the legend of the heroism of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and so enjoyed it that they listened to the music often. The president’s favorite song included the lines: “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.” In later years, the Kennedy presidency became known as “Camelot,” largely because of Mrs. Kennedy. Shortly after the president’s death in 1963, she told a journalist that all she could think about was the president’s favorite line. She went on to say: “There’ll be great presidents again, but there’ll never be another Camelot again.” Journalist Theodore H. White later wrote that “all she could repeat was, ‘Tell people there will never be that Camelot again.’” In the legendary Camelot, leaders sat at a round table. With no head of the table, it was implied that rule was by all, not just by one. F/F/F 1-Fact

The 1960 vote was so close that Nixon considered demanding a recount, but then decided against it. He explained that if there were a recount, “the organization of the new administration and the orderly transfer of responsibility from the old to the new might be delayed for months. The situation within the entire federal government would be chaotic.” FYI 1-1a

Moment in History 1

Proud Words Almost two years after the Berlin Wall was built, President Kennedy paid tribute to the spirit of Berliners when he spoke to a crowd gathered near the wall. He said, “All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ (I am a Berliner).” You Don’t Say 2-1

Problem Solving Imagine you have just done poorly on a chemistry exam. You wonder why you cannot do better since you always go to class, take notes, and study for exams. In order to improve your grades, you need to identify the specific problem and then take actions to solve it. Click the Speaker button to listen to the audio again. CT Skill Builder 1

Problem Solving Learning the Skill
There are six key steps you should follow that will help you through the problem-solving process.  Identify the problem. In the case listed above, you know that you are not doing well on chemistry exams.  Gather information. You know that you always go to class and take notes. You study by yourself for about two hours each day for two or three days before the exam. You also know that you sometimes forget details or get confused about things as you are taking the exam.

Problem Solving Learning the Skill (cont.)
List and consider possible solutions. For example, instead of studying by yourself, you might try studying with a friend or a group. You might also study for shorter timespans to avoid overloading yourself with information.  Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.  Now that you have listed and considered the possible options, you need to choose the best solution to your problem. Choose what you think is the right solution, and carry it out. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. CT Skill Builder 3

Problem Solving Learning the Skill (cont.)
Evaluate the effectiveness of the solution. This will help you determine if you have solved the problem. If you earn better scores on the next few chemistry tests, you will know that you have solved your problem. CT Skill Builder 4

Problem Solving Practicing the Skill
Reread the material in Section 1 on page 842 of your textbook under the heading “Kennedy Struggles with Congress.” Use that information and the steps listed on the previous slides to answer the questions on the following slides. CT Skill Builder 5

Problem Solving Practicing the Skill (cont.) 1. What problem did Kennedy encounter as he tried to pass domestic policy legislation through Congress? 2. What options were available to the president in facing this opposition? What were the advantages and disadvantages? Kennedy was met with congressional resistance when he tried to pass domestic policy legislation. He could push harder for all aspects of his agenda or reserve his bargaining power for only the issues that were truly important and winnable.
