These days we mark anniversary to the assassination of President Kennedy (Nov. 22, 1963).
I was 16 at the time. Half a year after the event, I published an article in an Israeli youth journal, Ma-ariv La-Noar (published June 09 1964). The subject was the significance of having a ruler of a country who is young vs. having an elderly one.
I can add today a third option, I did not conceive of when I composed this essay. Indeed, this is an option pursued by the elderly President Trump: Have an elderly “ruler of a country”; However, let this ruler be surrounded by mostly young talented people!
Indeed, an optimal solution!
I read the original article once again these days (60 years after it was published), and really liked it. So did my close friends whom I have shown this article from days-past.
The article is attached herewith as a PDF file (Hebrew). Feel free to increase fonts as necessary.
Enjoy!
