Sommario/riassunto |

Even the most powerful men in the world are human-they get sick, take dubious drugs, drink too much, contemplate suicide, fret about ailing parents, and bury people they love. Young Richard Nixon watched two brothers die of tuberculosis, even while doctors monitored a suspicious shadow on his own lungs. John Kennedy received last rites four times |

as an adult, and Lyndon Johnson suffered a "belly buster" of a heart attack. David Blumenthal and James A. Morone explore how modern presidents have wrestled with their own mortality-and how they have taken this most human experience to heart as they faced the difficult politics of health care. Drawing on a trove of newly released White House tapes, on extensive interviews with White House staff, and on dramatic archival material that has only recently come to light, The Heart of Power explores the hidden ways in which presidents shape our destinies through their own experiences. Taking a close look at Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, the book shows what history can teach us as we confront the health care challenges of the twenty-first century. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Édifice religieux monumental, la cathédrale représente un symbole spirituel, patrimonial, culturel et politique. C’est pourquoi elle est confrontée, en temps de guerre, aux effets et à la violence de celle-ci : sa taille la désigne comme un objectif repérable de loin ; sa fonction religieuse en fait un symbole pour rassembler la population ; elle peut susciter au contraire une volonté de destruction, notamment iconoclaste, de la part de l’adversaire ; les cérémonies qui s’y déroulent pendant ou après les conflits implorent la protection divine, demandent la victoire, honorent les morts. Les enjeux politiques se mêlent aux dimensions spirituelles pour élever certaines cathédrales en symboles nationaux. Enfin, l’édifice est un lieu de mémoire des guerres, par ses cicatrices, ses mémoriaux, ses cérémonies du souvenir, voire de réconciliation. La situation des cathédrales en Europe occidentale des guerres de Religion jusqu’à nos jours – une période marquée par de nombreux et amples conflits – en témoigne. A monumental religious building, the cathedral represents a spiritual, heritage, cultural and political symbol. This is why, in times of war, it’s confronted with the effects and violence of war. |
