Panel on presidency in nuclear age at JFK library
BOSTON -- Some heavyweights are hitting the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston -- either in person or by video -- for a conference on the presidency in the nuclear age.
Former president George. H.W. Bush is scheduled to open the free conference Monday by video. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger will also appear via video.
John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy was scheduled to make welcoming remarks, and JFK's former special counsel Ted Sorensen will also be in Boston.
Others scheduled to appear are former Reagan adviser Ken Adelman, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nick Burns and Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Making of the Atom Bomb."
