Re: 53 years ago today ...
I remember the 1960 election and some of the debates. Nixon had an aftergrowth beard that made him look somewhat sinister on TV and Kennedy was young and vibrant.

Re: EBAY bogus second chance coin offers...Lets fight back.
I played along a bit on this one. The initial announcement had the e-bay look and feel, but did not show in my e-bay massages. Also, I wasn't second on the coin... I was abbout eigth!
