This is a biography of both of their lives with a highlight on their respective roles in the development of the Vietnam War. Kai Bird portrays them as complicated men who served their country, and headed many progressive causes during and after the war. He attributes their main miscalculation was the inability to take a hard line against the build up and instead choose to not risk political capital by remaining in the Vital Center.

The color of a transparent object is determined by the wavelength of the light transmitted by it.
Note that the colors depicted depend on the color space of the device on which you are viewing the image, and therefore may not be a strictly accurate representation of the color at a particular position, and especially not for monochromatic colors.
Colors are produced when a material is scored with fine parallel lines, formed of one or more thin parallel layers, or otherwise composed of microstructures on the scale of the color's wavelength.
Color would no more be in objects than pain is. Either way, the world was seen as not colored--or at least, if there is color in reality, it bears little resemblance to the color we are so intimately aware of.
Color on this understanding is categorized as a “phenomenal property”, maintaining the Cartesian legacy that such properties are mind-dependent and subjective, but in a way that frees them of excessive ontological baggage.
The language of color, and language as a whole, however, is public in the sense of both being suitable for reporting public events and learnable by appeal to public objects.
