Insomniac-Net Questions -- Friday[26], June 26, 2015
Tonight's Topic: "(TorF): Ich bin ein Berliner!"
    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
    We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
    Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.

    It's that time again -- 3 more True-or-False ("TorF") questions.
    On this date -- June 26, 1963 -- President John F. Kennedy (JFK) delivered one of his most eloquent speeches in West Berlin (during the Cold War Era).
    At this visit, nearly 2 years after the infamous Berlin Wall was first erected, President Kennedy spoke to
hugh West German crowds.
    In that speech, he expressed his solidarity with those in the besieged city by claiming: "Ich bin ein Berliner!" ("I am a Berliner!").
    Accordingly, how much more do you know about... this famous pronouncement by JFK?
    For tonight's True-or-False ("TorF") questions, please give us your best answers for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    OK, lassen Sie uns gehen TorF-ing! (Let's get going TorF-ing!)
++ "(TorF): Ich bin ein Berliner!" ++
Question #1: Recently (in 2013), historians have discovered that one of JFK's speechwriters -- and not President Kennedy -- originally coined the phrase: "I am a Berliner"  -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.
Question #2: Besides having the phrase translated into German, Kennedy also had the translator phonetically write out the phrase: "Ish bin ein Bearleener" -- which JFK proceeded to rehearse phonetically for several hours before giving his famous speech -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.
Question #3: Unfortunately, however, when Kennedy actually spoke "Ish bin ein Bearleener", JFK mistakenly called himself "a jelly doughnut"  -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

    ++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++  --  President John F. Kennedy in West Berlin (June 26, 1963):
            “Freedom has many difficulties, and democracy is not perfect, but we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in ...
            “Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was ‘Civis Romanus sum,’ ['I am a citizen of Rome'] ...
            
Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is ‘Ich bin ein Berliner!’ ...
           
All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner.”
