Biography

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, (1917-1963), 35th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . The youngest ever elected to the presidency and the first of the Roman Catholic faith, John F. Kennedy won the ELECTION of November 1960 by a razor-thin margin, but after taking office he received the support of most Americans. They admired his winning personality, his lively family, his intelligence, and his tireless energy, and they respected his courage in time of decision. During his relatively brief term of officeless than three yearsPresident Kennedy dealt with severe challenges in Cuba, Berlin, and elsewhere. A nuclear test ban treaty in 1963 brought about a relaxation in cold war tensions following a time of severe confrontation early in the administration. Domestically, much of the Kennedy program was unfulfilled, brought to fruition only in the Johnson administration. The U.S. space program, however, surged ahead during the Kennedy administration, scoring dramatic gains that benefited American prestige worldwide. An assassin's bullet cut short Kennedy's term as president. On Nov. 22, 1963, the young president was shot to death while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. As the nation joined in mourning, dignitaries from around the world gathered at his funeral in Washington to pay their respects. Mayor Willy Brandt of West Berlin expressed the world's sense of loss when he said that "a flame went out for all those who had hoped for a just peace and a better life."

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
35th President of the United States Those who make peaceful revolution impossible
will make violent revolution inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He entered the Navy in 1940 after graduation from Harvard. Back from the war, he became a Democratic Congressman from the Boston area, advancing in 1953 to the Senate. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on September 12, 1953. In 1955, while recuperating from a back operation, he wrote "Profiles in Courage," and won the Pulitzer Prize in history. In 1960 Kennedy gained the Democratic Party's nomination for President. Millions watched his television debates with the Republican candidate, Richard M. Nixon. Winning by a narrow margin in the popular vote, Kennedy became the youngest man elected President, and the first Roman Catholic. President Kennedy's economic programs launched the country on its longest sustained expansion since World War II. He also took vigorous action in the cause of equal rights, calling for new civil rights legislation. Shortly after his inauguration, Kennedy permitted a group of Cuban exiles to invade Cuba in an attempt to overthrow the regime of Fidel Castro. The invasion was a failure. In 1962 the Russians began to install nuclear missiles in Cuba. When this was discovered in October of 1962, Kennedy imposed a quarantine on all offensive weapons bound for Cuba. With the world on the brink of nuclear war, the Russians backed down and agreed to remove the missiles. Kennedy asserted that both the Russians and Americans had a vital interest in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and the arms race. To this end his administration negotiated the test ban treaty of 1963.

Art, Artists
"If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live." Address at Harvard University, 1956. "... the life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction in the life of a nation, is very close to the center of a nation's purposeand it is the test of the quality of a nation's civilization." Public Papers of the Presidents : 1962, p.552, also in Creative America (1962). This quotation is inscribed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. "Too often in the past, we have thought of the artist as an idler and dilettante and of the lover of arts as somehow sissy and effete. We have done both an injustice. The life of the artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard, often amid deprivation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in order to strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life is marked by intense application and intense discipline." Public Papers of the Presidents: 1962 , p. 904

Kennedy's 1961 Innaugural Address We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom symbolizing an end as well as a beginningsignifying renewal as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globethe belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americansborn in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritageand unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledgeand more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can dofor we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

By Thomas L. Jones
Prologue
"Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot." Allan Jay Learner. On Saturday, June 23 1990, I boarded a jumbo jet at London’s Heathrow Airport to fly home. New Zealand is about as far away as you can get to enjoy living in a socially developed country and yet be separated by distance from the rest of the civilized world. It’s about 12000 miles from England to Auckland, which can be traveled direct in twenty-four hours. I was breaking the journey in America, so the trip was not going to be as murderous on my body. I had been traveling in Europe on business and had one last stopover on the way home. I was flying to Dallas, Texas. On long hauls like this, I would treat myself to the comfort and peace of the first-class cabin and settled back to enjoy the champagne and the attention of the cabin staff. My stopover in Dallas was only two days and I was arriving late at night. One thing I had promised myself: on the Sunday I was going to visit Dealey Plaza, walk down Elm Street, stand on the pedestal next to the pergola where Abraham Zapruder had taken that historical home movie, and look across at the grassy knoll down to the overpass and back up to the Texas School Book Depository.

President John F. Kennedy's May 25, 1961 Speech
before a Joint Session of Congress

The decision involved much consideration before making it public, as well as enormous human efforts and expenditures to make what became Project Apollo a reality by 1969. Only the construction of the Panama Canal in modern peacetime and the Manhattan Project in war were comparable in scope. NASA's overall human spaceflight efforts were guided by Kennedy's speech; Projects Mercury (at least in its latter stages), Gemini, and Apollo were designed to execute Kennedy's goal. His goal was achieved on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Module's ladder and onto the Moon's surface. In honor of Kennedy's historic speech, below are some documents and other information relating to the decision to go to the Moon and Project Apollo that we hope you find useful.

JFK is the subject of one of the most controvercial assasinations of all time, conspiracy therories, motivation and mystery still remain. He stood up to communism, Castro, the Russians, and the American Mafia. The Cuban missile crisis caused him a very stressful 2 weeks as the world watched for possible World War III. John F. Kennedy was the youngest US President ever to take office, as well as the youngest to die when on November 22, 1963 he was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Even today, many believe it was a consipracy and there was not just one gunman that killed him. Lee Harve Oswald was due to stand trial when a man by the name of Jack Ruby shot him to death on the way to the court room. Many say this was a coverup as well.
