"We witness his bravery in war and selfless rescue of his PT boat crew. We watch JFK as a young politician learning to play hardball and watch him grow into the leader who averts a nuclear war." The preceding was lifted from a review of the biography, written by a cable news commentator. Well, got'ta admit the secondary title, "Elusive Hero" certainly fits this assassinated president, appropriate even.
Besides fracturing the backbone of Khruschev's Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, this president was responsible for making the moon a monument to American technology, thus sealing an eternal covenant.
Talk about spiritual irony, an act of generosity by President Truman initiated the covenant.
