Strange person.

John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Brooklyn, Massachusetts of Irish descent. He had studied in The Choate School, London School of Economics, Princeton University, Harvard University. In the year 1941 he joined the US Navy and was awarded with the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, the Purple Heart, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.
The start of his political career was around 1946, after his military experience, when he ran for the seat of representative James Michael Curley. Several years later (in 1956) he ran for the Senate: he was a Democratic Congressman from the Boston area.
On November 8, 1960 when the general election was held, Kennedy had to compete with Richard Nixon and as a result won the election. Kennedy's policy included such issues as fighting against discrimination, war, crime and poverty, supporting different space programs, tax cuts, medical care system, and equal rights. The president experienced global events such as Cuban Missile crisis (1962), construction of the Berlin Wall (1961), communism in Latin America, creation of the Peace Corps, and the dangerous nuclear weapon era.

The first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy took an active part of the representation of Kennedy and the USA. The couple reinvented what it meant to be president, and welcomed cameras into their life. They were married on September 12, 1953 and the couple had got two children, John Jr. and Caroline.

On November 22, 1963 JFK was assassinated in Texas, and the next elected American president was Lyndon Baines Johnson, who had designed the the Warren Commission in order to investigate the murder. The discussions about his murder are still open: however Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to be the murderer.

Copies of Baikal

Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. It is similar to Baikal origin (rift) and the size of the basin. Tanganyika length of about 650 km, the width of 40-80 km, an area of 34 thousand square kilometers. The maximum depth in the southern part of 1470 m. In terms of water Tanganyika 2 times less. In it are found hippos, crocodiles.
In Lake Baikal and Lake Titicaca flows many rivers and streams, and follows only one near Baikal is Angara, near Lake Titicaca is the Desaguadero. This is probably the most similar between them. Of volcanic origin in freshwater.
These two lakes most similar to Lake Baikal!

My summer

Summer holidays are the longest of all the other holidays. I like summer holidays because I have a lot of free time. Usually I spend June in thecountry where my grandparents live. I help them to work in the kitchen-garden. There are many apple-trees and cherry-trees in our garden. When it is summer we often have a lot of apples and cherries. There is a river not far from our house. Every day I swim, lie in the sun and play with my friendson the bank of the river. Sometimes we go fishing.
In July I go to the camp. There is a big swimming-pool in the camp. We have happy time at the camp. Every day we play different games, swim in the swimming-pool and listen to the music. There is a forest not far from our camp and we often go there to pick up berries, such as raspberries, strawberries, red bilberries. In the afternoon we watch TV, read books and magazines. In the evening we dance and go for a walk.
I spend August with my parents at the sea-side. We usually go to Sochi. There are many sights in that town. I like to swim in the Black Sea and spend a lot of time on the beach.
Usually I return to Moscow at the middle of August. I meet my friends, and prepare for a new school year.
I like summer and my summer holidays very much.
