John Kennedy had so many different medical problems that began when he was a boy. He started out with intestinal problems... spastic colitis.
In the case of Marilyn and John Kennedy, I think they did affect change.
Kennedy had been assassinated a month or so before. So we walked to the grave of John Kennedy and ended our walking symbolically at the Arlington National Cemetery.
John Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it, while Richard Nixon won among those listening on the radio.
Rock stars generally don't last in the Senate, starting with John Kennedy. Too much work, too slow, too little juice. Getting something accomplished takes a remarkable amount of tedious work. Rock stars who become senators either run for something else or retire on the job. They certainly don't make a mark.
I would like to see 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole adapted.
John Kennedy led us on a journey to discover the moon. Obama needs to lead us on a journey to rediscover, rebuild and reinvent our own backyard.
Like John Kennedy in 1960, Obama combines youth, vigor, and good looks with the promise of political change. Like Kennedy, he grew up in unusual circumstances that distance him from ordinary American life.
