Today's Pic of the Day

Detour is a 1945 American film noir directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Tom Neal and Ann Savage. The screenplay was adapted by Martin Goldsmith and Martin Mooney (uncredited) from Goldsmith's 1939 novel Detour, and the film was released by the Producers Releasing Corporation, one of the so-called Poverty Row film studios in mid–20th-century Hollywood. Detour tells the story of an unemployed piano player who hitchhikes to Los Angeles with a bookie, and the consequences when the bookie dies on the way. The film, which is now in the public domain, was restored by the Academy Film Archive in 2018.Film credit: Edgar G. Ulmer; restored by the Academy Film Archive

To Do List

He proposed tax cuts in 1962; they were passed in 1964. [3] On a larger subject: the "Domestic Policies" section of the JFK article seems pretty dismissive. Certainly it's wrong to imply, as strongly as it does, that the tax cuts passed in 1964 owed little to his efforts. John Broughton 15:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
A quick scan of my old Ency. Britannica noted as accomplishments: Cuban missle crisis, which may have helped lead Kruschev to sign, 10 mos later, the nuclear test ban treaty. It notes that Congress was indeed wary of his domestic plans (one that passed was the Peace Corps) in part because of the closeness of the election -- but that Kennedy was convinced he would win a 1964 landslide against Goldwater, and get the mandate for the massive tax cut, and civil rights leglislation that he wanted. -- Sholom 21:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
