JFK's accent was not "bad" and his grammar was perfect.

Hi, Jerry,

please don't post my copyrighted article.  ADS-Lers who have "Maledicta
11" (1995) can re-read my article (pp. 63-64), which is also accessible
in many university libraries.  Posting my debunking of that *idiotic* "I
am a jelly doughnut" garbage won't change the mind of Mr. Goncharoff &
Co., who stubbornly refuse to accept the scholarly evidence
contradicting their ignorant beliefs.
