Hey, Joe! Where You Goin'...Oh! You've Gone...

"Allies" by Lawrence Holofcener, was unveiled in 1995 to celebrate 50 years since the end of WWII. But isn't someone missing?
Ironic, perhaps, as Stalin more usually had others airbrushed from history.

In the news today are the tapes in which Jackie Kennedy Onassis is hilariously rude about the great & the good of her times.
Martin Luther King is "a terrible man", "tricky" & "phony".
LBJ is "bitter & uninspired".
De Gaulle is "an egomaniac" & "spiteful".
Indira Gandhi is "bitter", "pushy" & "horrible".

These two don't avoid the sharp edge of her tongue either. FDR is "an insincere showoff", & Churchill "ga-ga".
Maybe Uncle Joe had a lucky escape.
