註釋You don't need to know what kind of house a person lived in as a child, or what his family was like, or where she went to school. You want the good stuff - the facts they would never teach you in history class - the strange coincidences, contradictions, unusual relationships, feuds, flings, and failures that make everyone human. You want The Juicy Parts - Jack Mingo's tantalizing original collection of the most compelling facts about this century's most compelling figures...Lee Harvey Oswald's plan to assassinate Richard Nixon; Teenager Fidel Castro's letter to President Roosevelt - and FDR's disappointing response; Michael Jackson's early entry into America's homes - knocking on doors for Jehovah's Witnesses; Mark Twain's prediction of Winston Churchill's future glory; Muhammad Ali's connection with Malcolm X, and the unexplained fire at his house the night of Malcolm's assassination; Where Hitler got the idea for concentration camps; How J.
