35.A) The Assassination of JFK, an interview with Stephen Fagin

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
~~~
John F. Kennedy presided over three of the most turbulent years of the Cold War. From the Bay of Pigs to the Cuban Missile Crisis and a coup in Vietnam, the stakes have rarely been higher. But how did he overcome youth and bigotry against his Catholic faith to reach the White House? Well, it helps when your daddy has money and you have charisma to spare.
