[edit]
Cathedral of La Laguna
The Cathedral of La Laguna is a Roman Catholic church in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The church was designated a cathedral in 1818 and is the seat of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which includes the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The current building was constructed between 1904 and 1915 to replace an earlier building begun in 1515. The cathedral is located in the historic centre of La Laguna and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO. It contains elements of several architectural styles and is noted for its Neoclassical facade, inspired by Pamplona Cathedral, as well as its dome, which stands out prominently in the city landscape. In the cathedral lie the remains of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, the conqueror of the island and founder of the La Laguna. This photograph shows one of the side chapels of the Cathedral of La Laguna, with a 6-metre-tall (20 ft) gilded reredos behind the altar. Constructed in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century, the reredos is the largest in the Canary Islands. The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin of Los Remedios, whose statue is in the central niche behind the altar. The reredos features seven paintings, attributed to Hendrick van Balen, depicting scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary.Photograph credit: Diego Delso

External Links: 2006 Election

[edit]

These are some of the links that I frequently use in following the 2006 election. If you're reading this, and you find other useful ones, please add them!

Reference Templates

[edit]
<ref>
{{cite news  |first =  |last =  |author =  |coauthors = |url =  |title =  |work =  |publisher =  |pages =  |page =  |date =  |accessdate = 
}}
</ref>

if you need to cite a source twice, give it a name as such: 

<ref name="Source1">{{cite news | etc. }}}</ref>

then to link it again use 

<ref name="Source1"/>

Also 

{{cite web | title=Title | work=Title of Complete Work | url=http://www.example.com | accessdate=2006-06-28}}

Two columns for references? 

{{reflist|2}}

To Do List

[edit]
He proposed tax cuts in 1962; they were passed in 1964. [3] On a larger subject: the "Domestic Policies" section of the JFK article seems pretty dismissive. Certainly it's wrong to imply, as strongly as it does, that the tax cuts passed in 1964 owed little to his efforts. John Broughton 15:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
A quick scan of my old Ency. Britannica noted as accomplishments: Cuban missle crisis, which may have helped lead Kruschev to sign, 10 mos later, the nuclear test ban treaty. It notes that Congress was indeed wary of his domestic plans (one that passed was the Peace Corps) in part because of the closeness of the election -- but that Kennedy was convinced he would win a 1964 landslide against Goldwater, and get the mandate for the massive tax cut, and civil rights leglislation that he wanted. -- Sholom 21:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
