JFK’s handwritten, phonetic notecard to say “Ich bin ein Berliner,” near Berlin Wall, sixty years ago this week.

Sat on train in the 'quieter coach' listening to a pair of doctors talk about their recent patients.

Literally talking about age, risk factors, & diagnoses of people they saw on specific days this week.

Is this OK? Half the coach can hear! Glad I'm not one of their patients!
