For some reason the Kennedy family waited a long time to release this recording; strange, because it reflects well on the sainted JFK. I just encountered it recently.
In the midst of the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962, President Kennedy called former President Eisenhower to brief him on the situation and extract any wisdom he could from his predecessor.
This is how our system is supposed to work, with leaders, officials and politicians interacting with each other respectfully and in the best interests of the nation. Ike and JFK were hardly pals: after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, White House staff reported hearing Eisenhower reaming out Kennedy from behind a closed door.
Nonetheless, this phone call shows two Presidents from opposing parties working together and showing each other the kind of courtesy and civility essential for productive cooperation. Our republic and our culture were healthier then, even as World War III loomed.

Kennedy and Goldwater also had a friendship based on respect, despite their political differences. Had JFK lived, they apparently had planned to cross the country recreating the Lincoln-Douglas style of debating. That would have been a joy to see!!
Kennedy and Goldwater also had a respectful relationship, even when disagreeing on policies. They enjoyed the banter and REAL debating. We’ve lost that art. Today’s “debates” are gotcha-fests, derogatory slams, and void of any real substance.

what struck me was the description of the nemesis then is applicable to our nemesis today. “ They probe and their word is unreliable” can also be said of hamas and others. The same is true of Eisenhower response “ no one will stand up to them.”
