(I think he actually started out with the best of intentions.  I think he became a victim of the quote: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”   —   Lord Acton.  I think losing to Kennedy caused him to harbor a deep, deep bitterness, that when he finally was victorious, led him to an overwhelming sense of entitlement, that is very dangerous for anyone who holds that high an office.  Even so, he had some very impressive accomplishments.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

  2. It took me some time to get started on this one too, Art. I was also liking YAO as THE, so the next word looked like a lock for TIME. Then, I had a strong feeling that the J was the A, and I was able to see AFTER, which led me to ERA. But, initially I also questioned a three letter word starting with E.
