The Soviet economy was crumbling, long before Reagan and the people of this dictatorship called communism wanted freedom from repression.

How did John F. Kennedy handle the Berlin crisis?
Your question is vague, so the only crisis dealing with Berlin that I can think of would be the Berlin airlift. If this is the case JFK was not in office in 1949. He wasn't elected president until 1960. If you mean the Cuban crisis that is a different story.
What happend to the Berlin wall?
It was one of the greatest human tragedies in the last 40 years since the end of the war. Families were separated from each other and East Germans who had worked in West Berlin, could no longer work there and had to find employment in the east which was very difficult. The Communists were discredited by most of the people-east and west. Berliners, who had endured so much suffering during the war, with the constant air raids and intense fighting and atrocities committed, did not deserve this inhumane treatment. Many elderly Berliners actually committed suicide as the wall became a common sight over time. Many gave up hope of ever seeing their loved ones and put an end to their lives. West Berlin flourished under Willy Brandt, the major, and subsequent leaders in the 1960's, 70's, and 80's. Even though East Berlin was heralded as the "Paris of the East" by the Communists, it was much drearier than the prosperous West Berlin. I have been to both sides of the Wall in the 1970's and 80's-the difference was unbelievable!!!
How do you glaze a curtain wall?
You must first have the proper size of glass, typically 1'' larger both ways than your day light opening. You should already have your seting blocks in place on the sill. This is usually at least a 2 man operation, for after you place your glass in the opening, it must physically be held in place until temporary mechanical stops are put in place. (Short cut offs of the pressure bar screwed into the screw race of the mullion)
After you have all glass in for that "run", you start putting on the full length pieces of vertical pressure bar. Start at the top, as you work down remove the temporary stops. After the vertical pressure bar is on, go back and put on the horizontal pressure bars. (Don't forget the weep holes and "marrying" of the corners of the vinyl - IMPORTANT STEP!
Depending on the lay out of the elevation you are working on, you may want to complete all of the pressure bar before putting on the face cap (Be sure and use a flat block on the cap when pounding it on, if you don't you get many, many dents)

What did the Truman doctrine protect?
After WW II, the Truman Doctrine was that the United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under attack from authoritarian nations (ie USSR, North Korea).
Truman's general argument was that a failure to prevent the rise of communist insurgencies in Greece and Turkey would send a signal to the Soviet Union that the United States would not oppose the spread of communism to other countries around the world. This would threaten a number of US allies in postwar Europe as well as countries throughout Asia that both had communist insurgencies or popular support for communists.

What are the 3 significant lessons learned from the cold war?
1st:- It causes only harm to whosoever involved in such tactics. If such a cold war was not in place then there would have been no taliban now and no 9/11 and no hatred against Islam etc. no radical Islam would have been used by any one and there would have been much more peace as of now.
2nd.:- It causes a huge drain to the society. If the amount of money and resources put into cold war either for syping, intelligence, bribing, manufacturing arms and ammunition and supporting proxies was to be invested into eduction and healthcare there will be much more educated people and living standards would have been high and poverty diminished.
3rd.:- Much time of the next generations would have been saved as if there was no cold war then I wud have used this time in some other constructive activity as there would have been no need for me to utilize my time in writing this post.. ;)
