Use of unilaterally[edit]

Use of "unilaterally" is confusing in first paragraph if his promise was predicated, as the article says, on "all other" nations also halting atmospheric testing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.217.22.102 (talk) 15:26, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article title[edit]

Let me try and figure this out: the most important speech ever given in the career of JFK, widely considered one of the most significant speeches of any US president, has the unassuming, nondescript title of "American University speech”, which makes no reference to the president, the year it was delivered, or to any self-reference, such as its actual title, "A Strategy of Peace". This makes no sense whatsoever to me as a reader nor as an editor. Viriditas (talk) 09:49, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
