Boston Globe Newspaper Mar 4, 1991
Saturday it was off to "Brazil Night" at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel ballroom for a sold-out party to benefit the Cambridge-based human rights group, Cultural Survival Inc., in conjunction with the Rainforest Alliance. Simple little black dresses were de rigueur at this party. But the most chic women took the reliable style and gave it a dramatic fashion twist. They wore understated black dresses that bared the shoulder, dipped into daring v's or somehow focused on the natural and impressive art of decolletage. They made headlines with their necklines. Meanwhile, Sen. John F. Kerry, an honorary committee member, breezed in and out of the black-tie gala in minutes. The subject of fashion/style seemed an enigma to him. Kerry, wearing a business suit, stayed only long enough to accept a gift: a tin of candy called Rainforest Crunch.
The Washington Post Company Mar 6, 1991:
Lessons of Democracy, Part 1: "You can't behave like a jackass after the election and hope to be elected the next time."Czechoslovakia's Ambassador Rita Klimova was talking about the fledgling democrats (little d) back home who are just learning the ABCs of freedom and democracy. If the Democrats (big D) at the National Democratic Institute's dinner picked up a few tips ... well, it can't hurt.
Last night's refresher course at the Mayflower Hotel was officially a celebration of democracy across the globe. The Washington-based institute, which gives foreign countries hands-on guidance with elections and the basics of parliamentary procedure, drew a mob of high-profile Democrats including former vice president Walter Mondale, Mike Mansfield, Andrew Young, Speaker of the House Tom Foley (Wash.), Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell (Maine), Sens. Al Gore (Tenn.), Edward Kennedy (Mass.), John Kerry (Mass.) and Chuck Robb (Va.), D.C. Mayor Sharon Pratt Dixon and more than 30 current ambassadors to the United States.
3 March 1991 (Sun) - Cease Fire Signed
5 March 1991 (Tue) - Kerry at National Democratic Institute dinner
There you go.
2 March 1991 (Sat) - Kerry at "Brazil Night"
All humor aside, wouldn't it be March 3, 1991 in Iraq if it were March 2, 1991 in the US?
Looks like you got it! With the 8 or 9 hour time difference, he couldn't have been at the signing.
11:30am in Baghdad is 3:30am in Boston on the same weekday (Sunday).
How did Kerry get from a night-time gala on Saturday night in Boston to Iraq when he had to have left around NOON (3:30am Sun (Boston) - 14hr flying time = 1:30pm Sat (Boston) ) to get to Iraq in time for the signing?
Obviously Kerry had access to a teleportation unit in 1991.
That's great! Unless he chartered the concord, I don't think he was in Safwan on 3 March 1991.
Was March 3 a Sat by chance? I don't have a 1991 calander in front of me.
This is just amazing...
F/R rocks.
Great work you guys!
