وفاة جون كينيدي

ومع ذلك ، لم يفعل بوتيمر أي شيء بشأن هذه المقابلة مع ويتون. ومع ذلك ، كان من بين الملفات التي رفعت عنها السرية لاحقًا. ذهب لو وسوبيل لرؤية ويتون وسألوه عما إذا كان على استعداد لإجراء مقابلة في فيلم حول فضيحة إيران كونترا. خلال المقابلة تم ذكر الخطاب إلى مجلس مراجعة سجلات الاغتيالات. شرح ويتون كيف أخبره جينكينز وصديقه رافائيل كوينتيرو ذات ليلة أنهما متورطان في اغتيال جون كينيدي.

في وقت المقابلة ، لم يتم ذكر كارل جينكينز فيما يتعلق باغتيال كينيدي. وفقا لاري هانكوك ، مؤلف شخص ما سيتحدث (2006) ، في أوائل الخمسينيات من القرن الماضي ، أصبح جنكينز "أحد أفراد قوات السي آي إيه شبه العسكرية ، ومدرب النجاة والتهرب والهروب لصالح وكالة المخابرات المركزية." خلال هذه الفترة عمل لأول مرة مع تريسي بارنز وإي هوارد هانت وويليام (ريب) روبرتسون وديفيد أتلي فيليبس وديفيد موراليس. يضيف هانكوك: "من 1955-1958 عمل جنكينز كمدرب للتكتيكات شبه العسكرية والمقاومة وكادر مدرب لكل من شرطة الحدود التايلاندية والقوات الخاصة الوطنية الصينية". أصبح كارل جينكينز مسؤول التدريب والعمليات للتسلل البحري للفرق الصغيرة في مشروع جنوب شرق آسيا. شمل ذلك إندونيسيا وسنغافورة وماليزيا والفلبين (1958-1959).

عند عودته إلى الولايات المتحدة ، انضم إلى تيد شاكلي في JM WAVE في ميامي. في عام 1960 تم تعيينه رئيسًا لقاعدة المشروع الكوبي. كان مسؤولاً عن اختيار الكوادر وتدريبهم ، وتعيين الضباط لواء الغزو ، والتسلل البحري ، والإدارة التشغيلية للفرق الصغيرة والوكلاء الفرديين. شارك كارل جينكينز أيضًا في AMWORLD ، وهو برنامج لوكالة المخابرات المركزية الأمريكية للإطاحة بفيدل كاسترو. في صيف عام 1963 عمل عن كثب مع ديفيد موراليس في توفير التدريب شبه العسكري لمانويل أرتيم ورافائيل كوينتيرو وأعضاء آخرين في حركة إنعاش الثورة (MRR).

الحرب العالمية الثانية ومستقبل في السياسة

بعد فترة وجيزة من التخرج ، انضم كل من جو وجاك إلى البحرية. كان جو نشرة إعلانية وتم إرساله إلى أوروبا ، بينما تم تعيين جاك ملازمًا (ملازمًا) وتم تعيينه في جنوب المحيط الهادئ كقائد لقارب طوربيد دورية ، PT-109.

كان لدى الملازم كينيدي طاقم من اثني عشر رجلاً كانت مهمتهم منع السفن اليابانية من إيصال الإمدادات إلى جنودها. في ليلة الثاني من أغسطس عام 1943 ، قام طاقم الملازم كينيدي بدوريات في المياه بحثًا عن سفن معادية لتغرق. ظهرت مدمرة يابانية فجأة. لكنها كانت تسير بأقصى سرعة وتوجهت مباشرة نحوهم. حاول الملازم كينيدي وهو يمسك بالعجلة الانحراف عن الطريق ، لكن دون جدوى. صدمت السفينة الحربية اليابانية الأكبر بكثير PT-109 ، فقسمتها إلى نصفين وقتلت اثنين من رجال الملازم كينيدي. تمكن الآخرون من القفز بينما اشتعلت النيران في قاربهم. تعرض الملازم كينيدي لضربات شديدة في قمرة القيادة ، مما أدى مرة أخرى إلى إصابة ظهره الضعيف. كان باتريك مكماهون ، أحد أفراد طاقمه ، مصابًا بحروق مروعة في وجهه ويديه وكان مستعدًا للاستسلام. في الظلام ، تمكن الملازم كينيدي من العثور على مكماهون وإعادته إلى حيث كان الناجون الآخرون يتشبثون بقطعة من القارب كانت لا تزال طافية. عند شروق الشمس ، قاد الملازم كينيدي رجاله نحو جزيرة صغيرة على بعد عدة أميال. على الرغم من إصاباته ، تمكن الملازم كينيدي من جر باتريك مكماهون إلى الشاطئ ، وهو حزام من سترة نجاة مكماهون مثبت بين أسنانه. بعد ستة أيام وجدهما اثنان من سكان الجزيرة الأصليين وذهبا للمساعدة ، لإيصال رسالة قام جاك بنحتها في قطعة من قشرة جوز الهند. في اليوم التالي ، تم إنقاذ طاقم PT-109. لم يكن جو شقيق جاك محظوظًا جدًا. وتوفي بعد عام عندما انفجرت طائرته خلال مهمة خطيرة في أوروبا.

عندما عاد إلى المنزل ، حصل جاك على وسام البحرية ومشاة البحرية لقيادته وشجاعته. مع انتهاء الحرب أخيرًا ، حان الوقت لاختيار نوع العمل الذي يريد القيام به. كان جاك يفكر في أن يصبح مدرسًا أو كاتبًا ، ولكن مع وفاة جو المأساوية تغير كل شيء فجأة. بعد مناقشات جادة مع جاك حول مستقبله ، أقنعه جوزيف كينيدي بأنه يجب أن يترشح للكونغرس في منطقة الكونجرس الحادي عشر بولاية ماساتشوستس ، حيث فاز في عام 1946. كانت هذه بداية مسيرة جاك السياسية. مع مرور السنين ، خدم جون ف. كينيدي ، وهو ديمقراطي ، ثلاث فترات (ست سنوات) في مجلس النواب ، وفي عام 1952 انتخب عضوا في مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي.

بعد فترة وجيزة من انتخابه عضوًا في مجلس الشيوخ ، تزوج جون كينيدي ، البالغ من العمر 36 عامًا ، من جاكلين بوفييه البالغة من العمر 24 عامًا ، وهي كاتبة مع واشنطن تايمز هيرالد. لسوء الحظ ، في وقت مبكر من زواجهما ، بدأ ظهر السناتور كينيدي يؤلم مرة أخرى وخضع لعمليتين جراحيتين خطيرتين. أثناء تعافيه من الجراحة ، كتب كتابًا عن العديد من أعضاء مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكيين الذين خاطروا بحياتهم المهنية للقتال من أجل الأشياء التي يؤمنون بها. الكتاب يسمى ملامح في الشجاعة، حصل على جائزة بوليتسر للسيرة الذاتية في عام 1957. وفي نفس العام ، ولدت كارولين ، وهي أول طفلة كينيدي.

أصبح جون كينيدي سياسيًا ذائع الصيت. في عام 1956 ، تم اختياره تقريبًا للترشح لمنصب نائب الرئيس. ومع ذلك قرر كينيدي أنه سيرشح نفسه للرئاسة في الانتخابات القادمة.

بدأ العمل لساعات طويلة والسفر في جميع أنحاء الولايات المتحدة في عطلات نهاية الأسبوع. في 13 يوليو 1960 رشحه الحزب الديمقراطي كمرشح للرئاسة. طلب كينيدي من ليندون جونسون ، عضو مجلس الشيوخ عن ولاية تكساس ، الترشح معه لمنصب نائب الرئيس. في ال الانتخابات العامة في 8 نوفمبر 1960 ، هزم كينيدي نائب الرئيس الجمهوري ريتشارد إم نيكسون في سباق متقارب للغاية. في سن 43 ، كان كينيدي أصغر رئيس منتخب وأول كاثوليكي. قبل تنصيبه ، ولد طفله الثاني ، جون الابن. كان والده يحب أن يناديه جون جون.

مع إطلاق آلاف الوثائق الجديدة المتعلقة باغتيال جون كنيدي أخيرًا للجمهور هذا الأسبوع ، أدرك الكثيرون مدى عدم معرفتهم بهذا الحدث التاريخي.

في 22 نوفمبر 1963 ، تغير مسار تاريخ الولايات المتحدة إلى الأبد عندما قُتل جون كينيدي بالرصاص في دالاس ، تكساس على يد لي هارفي أوزوالد (الذي لا يزال دوره في الاغتيال محل خلاف بين المتشككين الهواة ومنظري المؤامرة).

سرعان ما تم القبض على أوزوالد في مسرح قريب ، بعد إطلاق النار وقتل ضابط الشرطة جي دي تيبت ، الذي كان قد طوى إلى جانب أوزوالد بعد أن رأى أنه يطابق وصف مطلق النار في كينيدي.

بعد ذلك ، قُتل أوزوالد نفسه برصاص مالك ملهى ليلي محلي وشخصية ثانوية في العالم السفلي يُدعى جاك روبي قبل أن يحاكم بتهمة قتل كينيدي. ماتت روبي بسبب السرطان في السجن بعد فترة وجيزة ، ومع رحيل اللاعبين الرئيسيين الآن ، ربما مات معظم الغموض وراء الاغتيال معهم.

على الرغم من هذا ، أو ربما بسببه ، فقد ظل الاغتيال أحد أكثر نقاط الاهتمام إثارة للجدل بين منظري المؤامرة لعقود من الزمان ، حيث ألقى الكثيرون باللوم على وفاة كينيدي على أطراف بما في ذلك كوبا ووكالة المخابرات المركزية والمافيا وحتى ثم نائب الرئيس ليندون جونسون.

ولكن في حين أن مثل هذه التكهنات قد أثارت اهتمام الناس لعقود من الزمن ، فمن المحتمل أن يكون القليل منها قائمًا على أساس الواقع. فيما يلي بعض من أروع حقائق اغتيال جون كنيدي التي قرأتها على الإطلاق.

بعد إلقاء نظرة على حقائق اغتيال جون كنيدي ، شاهد بعضًا من أقوى صور اغتيال كينيدي التي ستجدها في أي مكان. ثم اقرأ عن أغرب أربع محاولات اغتيال رئاسية في كل العصور.

في اليوم الذي اغتيل فيه جون ف. كينيدي ، التقى بريان ويلسون ومايك لوف ، وخلال نصف ساعة كتبوا & ldquo دفء الشمس ، & rdquo الناجم عن أحداث ذلك اليوم. ولكن كما يظهر بوب ديلان و rsquos ملحمة جديدة و ldquo القتل الأكثر فظاظة و rdquo ، كانت أغنية Beach Boys أول أغنية بوب ، ولكن بعيدًا عن آخرها ، تسرد أو تتأمل في وفاة Kennedy & rsquos في 22 نوفمبر 1963.

على مدى عقود ، أثار الفنانون والأنواع الموسيقية ، جريمة قتل كينيدي ورسكووس مجموعة من ردود الفعل والتأملات والاستياء في عالم البوب ​​وأحيانًا من باب المجاملة للموسيقيين الذين ولدوا بعد عقد أو أكثر من وفاته. هنا & # 8217s تاريخ البوب ​​و rsquos يؤرخ للاغتيال.

20 تم التغاضي عن كلاسيكيات بوب ديلان

تم تسجيله بعد شهرين من الاغتيال ، & ldquo The Warmth of the Sun & rdquo لم يذكر أبدًا كينيدي أو دالاس أو لي هارفي أوزوالد أو غير ذلك من المحطات التي ظهرت تقريبًا في كل أغنية أخرى من أغاني جون كنيدي التي تلت ذلك. بدلاً من ذلك ، إنها & rsquos أغنية عن الخسارة ، سواء كان ذلك في وضح النهار أو حبًا كبيرًا. وبهذه الطريقة ، فإنه يخبرنا بالطريقة التي كان الكثيرون يتعاملون بها مع موت كينيدي ورسكووس كما لو أن تفاصيل مقتله كانت أكثر من أن يتعامل معها الجميع في ذلك الوقت. إن تناغم Group & rsquos wash-away-the-blues هي نفسها بلسم علاجي.

بيردس ، ldquo كان صديقًا لي و rdquo (1966): قطع بوب ديلان نسخة من هذه القصيدة التقليدية لألبومه الأول (وانتهى الأمر بتضمينها). من أجلهم منعطف أو دور! منعطف أو دور! منعطف أو دور! في الألبوم ، أعاد بيردس إحياء الأغنية وأعطوها تناغماتهم القوطية الخاصة ، وقام عازف الجيتار والقائد المشارك روجر ماكجين بمراجعة كلمات الأغاني ، والتي كان جزء منها الآن يقرأ: & ldquo كان في مدينة دالاس / من نافذة في الطابق السادس / أطلق مسلح النار عليه أسفل. و rdquo

& # 8220 في يوم 22 نوفمبر 1963 كنت أعمل لصالح Bobby Darin & # 8217s TM Music ككاتب أغاني في مبنى Brill ، & # 8221 McGuinn يخبر RS. & # 8220 لم تردنا أخبار هناك ولم & # 8217t حتى المساء عندما عدت إلى شقتي سمعت التفاصيل المأساوية لاغتيال جاك كينيدي & # 8217s. لكوني مؤيدًا كبيرًا لكينيدي ، دخلت في كساد عميق. كان بوب كاري من تاريرز صديقًا مقربًا وتوقفنا في تلك الليلة. لقد استعرت جيتاره وبدأت في العزف على الأغنية الشعبية القديمة وتوصلت تدريجيًا إلى كلمات جديدة. & # 8221 احترامًا لكينيدي ، يقول ماكجين إنه انتظر عن قصد بضع سنوات قبل أن يسجلها.

ستلعب الأغنية أيضًا دورًا رئيسيًا في تاريخ بيردس في العام التالي عندما قامت الفرقة بأداء الأغنية في مهرجان مونتيري الدولي للبوب. قبل أن يتم عزفها ، أخبر ديفيد كروسبي ، الجمهور الذي أثار حفيظة ماكجين وكريس هيلمان ، أن كينيدي قُتل على يد رجل واحد ولكن بدلاً من ذلك بمؤامرة. سيكون هذا من بين عدة قشات أخيرة لبيردس الآخرين ، الذين أطلقوا كروسبي بعد بضعة أشهر.

فيل أوكس ، ldquoCrucifixion و rdquo (1967): من قبيل الصدفة ، جاءت أول أغنية ملحمية عن كينيدي من صديق Dylan & rsquos ومنافسه من أيام قرية غرينتش الشعبية. اشتهر Ochs بأسلوبه شبه الصحفي في كتابة الأغاني ، لكن وفاة Kennedy & rsquos أثرت عليه بشدة لدرجة أن أغنيته حوله ، & ldquoCrucifixion ، & rdquo تتجاوز التفاصيل دقيقة بدقيقة لصالح قصة رمزية حول & ldquothe طبيعة قتل البطل ، & rdquo كما هو قال على خشبة المسرح في عام 1973. على الرغم من أنه لم يغني مرة واحدة الكلمة & ldquoKennedy & rdquo في الأغنية ، فمن الواضح أن السطور مثل & # 8217s يقولون إنهم لا يصدقون ذلك ، إنه عار تدنيس / الآن ، من يريد أن يؤذي مثل هذا بطل اللعبة؟ & rdquo حول الرئيس الراحل.

ظهر Ochs & rsquo الإصدار الأول من الأغنية ، المرغوبة بالتزامن والتأثيرات الإلكترونية ، في ألبومه عام 1967 ملذات الميناء. لكن عمليات الترحيل السري غير الموصولة التي قام بها في وقت لاحق كانت أكثر وضوحًا وعاطفة - وتحولت خسارة زعيم إلى ملحمة شعبية شبيهة بهوميروس.

غير الأسوياء ، ldquoBullet و rdquo (1978): في أحد تسجيلاتهم الأولى ، لم يقم جلين دانزيج وإخوانه المبكرين بفرم الكلمات منذ البداية: & ldquo President & # 8217s مليئًا بالرصاص في الشارع / الركوب ، جوني ركوب / كينيدي & # 8217s يضرب رأسًا خرسانيًا / ركوب ، جوني رايد. & rdquo في ما يقرب من دقيقة ونصف ، تعبر الأغنية عن الغضب والتعاطف مع جاكي أوناسيس وخيال الانتقام من تكساس الذي ينطوي على ممارسة العادة السرية. بالنظر إلى أن البانك غالبًا ما يتجاهل أو يسخر من إرث الستينيات ، فإنه يكشف عن إرث كينيدي ورسكووس الذي & ldquoBullet & rdquo موجود على الإطلاق.

لو ريد ، & ldquo يوم وفاة جون كينيدي& rdquo (1982): نادرًا ما تخلى ريد عن حذره كما فعل في هذا المسار المدروس من القناع الأزرق. مع فرقته التي تعزف وتعزف خلفه باحترام ، يحلم ريد بكل الأشياء التي كان سيفعلها لو كان قائد العالم الحر ، والتي تشمل القدرة على نسيان ذلك اليوم في عام 1963. سمعت الأخبار (& ldquoupstate in a bar، & rdquo مشاهدة مباراة كرة قدم على شاشة التلفزيون التي قاطعتها الأخبار العاجلة) وكيف & ldquoa الرجل في بورش & rdquo أكد وفاة كينيدي. ليس من المستغرب أن تكون الأغنية الأقل جشعًا والأكثر انعكاسًا في الألبوم علامة على أن ريد ، الذي لم يكن غريبًا عن الفوضى ، قد اهتز حقًا بهذا القتل الوحشي.

بيرل جام ، و ldquoBrain of J. & rdquo (1998): إحدى الغزوات العرضية للفرقة و rsquos للتعليق السياسي ، تلاها بعد فترة وجيزة & ldquoBushleaguer ، & rdquo & ldquoBrain of J. & rdquo لم تثر كثيرًا حول موت Kennedy & rsquos باعتباره تداعياته. لا يقتصر الأمر فقط على أن العالم بأسره سيكون مختلفًا ، & rdquo كما يغني إيدي فيدر ، لكن الاغتيال سيقمع الاحتجاج المستقبلي: & ldquo الآن وضعوك في طابور / قف خلف المشارب. بأقصى سرعة من البداية ، يتدلى في وسط حزين ، ثم ينفجر ضد & ndash كما لو أن ذكريات موت كينيدي و rsquos فجأة تتجدد من خلال دماغ Vedder & rsquos.

توري عاموس ، وقوة ldquoJackie و rsquos rdquo (1998): أغنية أخرى لم تكن مكرسة بالكامل لأحداث نوفمبر 1963 ولكن تم الإبلاغ عنها من قبلهم ، بدءًا من صورة أم عاموس ورسقوو وهي تضع الشاب توري في أسفل العشب الأمامي ويصلي من أجل الأرملة الجديدة. في مقابلة عام 1998 مع RSقالت عاموس إن الأغنية ظهرت أيضًا من أفكارها الخاصة بالزواج: & ldquo رأيت جاكي كعروس وكنت أعتقد أنني لن أكون عروسًا أبدًا. بدأت أنظر إلى جاكي وكيف كانت تلك المرأة تجمع البلد معًا بعد أن شاهدت زوجها يقطع أمامها مباشرة. & rdquo بشكل مخيف ، الأغنية ، التي تم سحبها من قبل Amos & rsquo الكنيسة لخدمة البيانو والتوصيل الأنفاس ، الثناء & ldquoJackie & rsquos Strength & rdquo & ndash ووصل قبل عام من وفاة جون كينيدي جونيور في حادث تحطم طائرة.

الخدمة البريدية ، ldquoSleeping in و rdquo (2003): يبدو أن بن جيبارد يؤيد لجنة وارن في هذا المسار من ألبوم الفرقة و rsquos الوحيد. يريد جيبارد البقاء في السرير ويتخيل عالماً أفضل ، عالم يشفي فيه الناس الأمراض ، ويعاملون الجميع باحترام ، ويدركون جميعًا أن موت جون كنيدي ورسكووس كان نتيجة لـ & ldquo مجرد رجل لديه شيء لإثباته ، يشعر بالملل والارتباك الشديد / ثبّت بندقيته مع هدفه في الوسط وأصبح مشهورًا في ذلك اليوم من شهر نوفمبر. & rdquo (كان ديفيد كروسبي مختلفًا.) ولكن ما هي أفضل فرقة لالتقاط حزن اللحظة أكثر من هذه الفرقة ، مع Jimmy Tamborello & rsquos synths ينبض بلطف حول جيبارد؟

Eminem ، & ldquo العدو العام # 1 & rdquo (2006): مساهمة Eminem & rsquos في تجميع Shady Records لعام 2006 يقدم ايمينيم: The Re-Up يجسد حالته الذهنية خلال فترة مضطربة من حياته وحياته المهنية ، والتي تضمنت فترة إعادة التأهيل وأفكار التقاعد. في & ldquoPublic Enemy # 1 ، & rdquo يتساءل عما إذا كان مكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي FBI يلاحقه ويقول إنه سيسجل أكبر عدد ممكن من الأغاني قبل أن يخرجه شخص ما.

قادته هذه الأفكار إلى جريمة قتل 2pac و rsquos بالإضافة إلى الرئيس الخامس والثلاثين: & ldquo مثل اليوم الذي اغتيل فيه جون ف. كينيدي في يوم عريض / من قبل مجنون مجنون ببندقية / الذي تصادف أن يعمل على نفس الكتلة في مستودع الكتب بالمكتبة & hellip Shots التي تم إطلاقها من الربوة المعشبة / لكنهم لا يعرفون ، أو يفعلون ذلك؟ لكنها تجعل المرء يرغب في محادثة بينه وبين ديفيد كروسبي ، إن لم يكن بين جيبارد.

تراث جون ف.كينيدي

يميل المؤرخون إلى تصنيف جون كنيدي كرئيس جيد وليس رئيسًا عظيمًا. لكن الأمريكيين يعطونه باستمرار أعلى معدل موافقة من أي رئيس منذ فرانكلين دي روزفلت. لماذا ا؟

من بين العديد من المعالم الأثرية لجون إف كينيدي ، ربما يكون أكثرها لفتًا للنظر هو متحف الطابق السادس في دالاس ، في المبنى الذي كان سابقًا مستودع كتب مدرسة تكساس. في كل عام ، يزور ما يقرب من 350.000 شخص المكان الذي انتظر فيه Lee Harvey Oswald في 22 نوفمبر 1963 ، لإطلاق النار على موكب الرئيس. المتحف نفسه غريب بسبب ارتباطه المادي بالحدث الذي يضيء أكثر اللحظات التي لا تنسى - والأكثر غرابة - في زيارة الطابق السادس عندما تستدير الزاوية وتواجه النافذة التي أطلق أوزوالد من خلالها بندقيته بينما كان كينيدي مفتوحًا car snaked through Dealey Plaza's broad spaces below. The windows are cluttered once again with cardboard boxes, just as they had been on that sunny afternoon when Oswald hid there.

Visitors from all over the world have signed their names in the memory books, and many have written tributes: “Our greatest President.” “Oh how we miss him!” “The greatest man since Jesus Christ.” At least as many visitors write about the possible conspiracies that led to JFK’s assassination. The contradictory realities of Kennedy’s life don’t match his global reputation. But in the eyes of the world, this reticent man became a charismatic leader who, in his life and in his death, served as a symbol of purpose and hope.

President Kennedy spent less than three years in the White House. His first year was a disaster, as he himself acknowledged. The Bay of Pigs invasion of Communist Cuba was only the first in a series of failed efforts to undo Fidel Castro’s regime. His 1961 summit meeting in Vienna with the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was a humiliating experience. Most of his legislative proposals died on Capitol Hill.

Yet he was also responsible for some extraordinary accomplishments. The most important, and most famous, was his adept management of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, widely considered the most perilous moment since World War II. Most of his military advisers—and they were not alone—believed the United States should bomb the missile pads that the Soviet Union was stationing in Cuba. Kennedy, aware of the danger of escalating the crisis, instead ordered a blockade of Soviet ships. In the end, a peaceful agreement was reached. Afterward, both Kennedy and Khrushchev began to soften the relationship between Washington and Moscow.

Kennedy, during his short presidency, proposed many important steps forward. In an address at American University in 1963, he spoke kindly of the Soviet Union, thereby easing the Cold War. The following day, after almost two years of mostly avoiding the issue of civil rights, he delivered a speech of exceptional elegance, and launched a drive for a civil-rights bill that he hoped would end racial segregation. He also proposed a voting-rights bill and federal programs to provide health care to the elderly and the poor. Few of these proposals became law in his lifetime—a great disappointment to Kennedy, who was never very successful with Congress. But most of these bills became law after his death—in part because of his successor’s political skill, but also because they seemed like a monument to a martyred president.

Kennedy was the youngest man ever elected to the presidency, succeeding the man who, at the time, was the oldest. He symbolized—as he well realized—a new generation and its coming-of-age. He was the first president born in the 20th century, the first young veteran of World War II to reach the White House. John Hersey’s powerful account of Kennedy’s wartime bravery, published in نيويوركر in 1944, helped him launch his political career.

In shaping his legend, Kennedy’s personal charm helped. A witty and articulate speaker, he seemed built for the age of television. To watch him on film today is to be struck by the power of his presence and the wit and elegance of his oratory. His celebrated inaugural address was filled with phrases that seemed designed to be carved in stone, as many of them have been. Borrowing a motto from his prep-school days, putting your country بدلا من Choate, he exhorted Americans: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”

Another contributor to the Kennedy legend, something deeper than his personal attractiveness, is the image of what many came to call grace. He not only كان grace, in the sense of performing and acting gracefully he was also a man who seemed to تسلم grace. He was handsome and looked athletic. He was wealthy. He had a captivating wife and children, a photogenic family. A friend of his, the journalist Ben Bradlee, wrote a 1964 book about Kennedy called That Special Grace.

The Kennedys lit up the White House with writers, artists, and intellectuals: the famous cellist Pablo Casals, the poet Robert Frost, the French intellectual André Malraux. Kennedy had graduated from Harvard, and stocked his administration with the school’s professors. He sprinkled his public remarks with quotations from poets and philosophers.

The Kennedy family helped create his career and, later, his legacy. He could never have reached the presidency without his father’s help. Joseph Kennedy, one of the wealthiest and most ruthless men in America, had counted on his first son, Joe Jr., to enter politics. When Joe died in the war, his father’s ambitions turned to the next-oldest son. He paid for all of John’s—Jack’s—campaigns and used his millions to bring in supporters. He prevailed on his friend Arthur Krock, of اوقات نيويورك, to help Jack publish his first book, لماذا نمت إنجلترا. Years later, when Kennedy wrote Profiles in Courage with the help of his aide Theodore Sorensen, Krock lobbied successfully for the book to win a Pulitzer Prize.

The Kennedy legacy has a darker side as well. Prior to his presidency, many of JFK’s political colleagues considered him merely a playboy whose wealthy father had bankrolled his campaigns. Many critics saw recklessness, impatience, impetuosity. Nigel Hamilton, the author of JFK: Reckless Youth, a generally admiring study of Kennedy’s early years, summed up after nearly 800 pages:

I. F. Stone, the distinguished liberal writer, observed in 1973: “By now he is simply an optical illusion.”

Kennedy’s image of youth and vitality is, to some degree, a myth. He spent much of his life in hospitals, battling a variety of ills. His ability to serve as president was itself a profile in courage.

Much has been written about Kennedy’s covert private life. Like his father, he was obsessed with the ritual of sexual conquest—before and during his marriage, before and during his presidency. While he was alive, the many women, the Secret Service agents, and the others who knew of his philandering kept it a secret. Still, now that the stories of his sexual activities are widely known, they have done little to tarnish his reputation.

Half a century after his presidency, the endurance of Kennedy’s appeal is not simply the result of a crafted image and personal charm. It also reflects the historical moment in which he emerged. In the early 1960s, much of the American public was willing, even eager, to believe that he was the man who would “get the country moving again,” at a time when much of the country was ready to move. Action and dynamism were central to Kennedy’s appeal. During his 1960 presidential campaign, he kept sniping at the Republicans for eight years of stagnation: “I have premised my campaign for the presidency on the single assumption that the American people are uneasy at the present drift in our national course … and that they have the will and the strength to start the United States moving again.” As the historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Kennedy’s friend and adviser, later wrote, “The capital city, somnolent in the Eisenhower years, had suddenly come alive … [with] the release of energy which occurs when men with ideas have a chance to put them into practice.”

Kennedy helped give urgency to the idea of pursuing a national purpose—a great American mission. In the 15 years since World War II, ideological momentum had been slowly building in the United States, fueled by anxieties about the rivalry with the Soviet Union and by optimism about the dynamic performance of the American economy.

When Kennedy won the presidency, the desire for change was still tentative, as his agonizingly thin margin over Richard Nixon suggests. But it was growing, and Kennedy seized the moment to provide a mission—or at least he grasped the need for one—even though it was not entirely clear what the mission was. Early in his tenure, a Defense Department official wrote a policy paper that expressed a curious mix of urgent purpose and vague goals:

This reflected John Kennedy’s worldview, one of commitment, action, movement. Those who knew him realized, however, that he was more cautious than his speeches suggested.

John F. Kennedy was a good president but not a great one, most scholars concur. A poll of historians in 1982 ranked him 13th out of the 36 presidents included in the survey. Thirteen such polls from 1982 to 2011 put him, on average, 12th. Richard Neustadt, the prominent presidential scholar, revered Kennedy during his lifetime and was revered by Kennedy in turn. Yet in the 1970s, he remarked: “He will be just a flicker, forever clouded by the record of his successors. I don’t think history will have much space for John Kennedy.”

But 50 years after his death, Kennedy is far from “just a flicker.” He remains a powerful symbol of a lost moment, of a soaring idealism and hopefulness that subsequent generations still try to recover. His allure—the romantic, almost mystic, associations his name evokes—not only survives but flourishes. The journalist and historian Theodore White, who was close to Kennedy, published a famous interview for حياة magazine with Jackie Kennedy shortly after her husband’s assassination, in which she said:

And thus a lyric became the lasting image of his presidency.

White, in his memoirs, recalled the reverence Kennedy had inspired among his friends:

Friends were not the only ones enchanted by the Kennedy mystique. He was becoming a magnetic figure even during his presidency. By the middle of 1963, 59 percent of Americans surveyed claimed that they had voted for him in 1960, although only 49.7 percent of voters had actually done so. After his death, his landslide grew to 65 percent. In Gallup’s public-opinion polls, he consistently has the highest approval rating of any president since Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The circumstances of Kennedy’s death turned him into a national obsession. A vast number of books have been published about his assassination, most of them rejecting the Warren Commission’s conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. After the assassination, even Robert F. Kennedy, the president’s brother, spent hours—perhaps days—phoning people to ask whether there had been a conspiracy, until he realized that his inquiries could damage his own career. To this day, about 60 percent of Americans believe that Kennedy fell victim to a conspiracy.

“There was a heroic grandeur to John F. Kennedy’s administration that had nothing to do with the mists of Camelot,” David Talbot, the founder of صالون, wrote several years ago. His book الإخوة: التاريخ الخفي لسنوات كينيدي, more serious than most Kennedy conspiracy theories, suggested that the president’s bold, progressive goals—and the dangers he posed to entrenched interests—inspired a plot to take his life.

There are many reasons to question the official version of Kennedy’s murder. But there is little concrete evidence to prove any of the theories—that the Mafia, the FBI, the CIA, or even Lyndon B. Johnson was involved. Some people say his death was a result of Washington’s covert efforts to kill Castro. For many Americans, it stretches credulity to accept that an event so epochal can be explained as the act of a still-mysterious loner.

Well before the public began feasting on conspiracy theories, Kennedy’s murder reached mythic proportions. In his 1965 book, ألف يوم, Schlesinger used words so effusive that they seem unctuous today, though at the time they were not thought excessive or mawkish: “It was all gone now,” he wrote of the assassination: “the life-affirming, life-enhancing zest, the brilliance, the wit, the cool commitment, the steady purpose.”

Like all presidents, Kennedy had successes and failures. His administration was dominated by a remarkable number of problems and crises—in Berlin, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam and in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama. Some of these, he managed adroitly and, at times, courageously. Many, he could not resolve. He was a reserved, pragmatic man who almost never revealed passion.

Yet many people saw him—and still do—as an idealistic and, yes, passionate president who would have transformed the nation and the world, had he lived. His legacy has only grown in the 50 years since his death. That he still embodies a rare moment of public activism explains much of his continuing appeal: He reminds many Americans of an age when it was possible to believe that politics could speak to society’s moral yearnings and be harnessed to its highest aspirations. More than anything, perhaps, Kennedy reminds us of a time when the nation’s capacities looked limitless, when its future seemed unbounded, when Americans believed that they could solve hard problems and accomplish bold deeds.

Kennedy Calls for the Withdrawal of US Military Advisers

The day before Kennedy was assassinated, he had approved National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 263 which expressly called for the withdrawal of these U.S. military advisers. However, with the succession of Lyndon B. Johnson to the presidency, the final version of this bill was changed. The version officially approved by President Johnson, NSAM 273, left out the withdrawal of advisers by the end of 1963. By the end of 1965, over 200,000 U.S. combat troops were in Vietnam.

Furthermore, by the time the Vietnam Conflict ended, there were over 500,000 troops deployed with more than 58,000 casualties. There are some conspiracy theorists that solely look to the difference in policy towards U.S. military presence in Vietnam between Kennedy and President Johnson as the reason for Kennedy's assassination. However, there is little evidence to support this theory. In fact, during an April 1964 interview, Bobby Kennedy answered a number of questions about his brother and Vietnam. He stopped short of saying that President Kennedy would not have used combat troops in Vietnam.

‘True nature of the Kennedy assassination’

The Thomas family acknowledges that theirs is a bizarre and complicated story. But they are convinced – with good reason, given what they have discovered – that if Thomas’s personnel records were misfiled it was intentional, and that it was never the real reason for his firing.

They are certain that Thomas lost his career – and ultimately his will to live – because senior officials were determined to shut down his persistent, unwelcome and ultimately fruitless effort to reopen an investigation of JFK’s murder.

There is a long paper trail. Documents released to the public show that during a posting in Mexico in the mid-1960s, Thomas came across evidence that showed Lee Harvey Oswald – who visited Mexico City in September 1963, weeks before killing Kennedy – had been in contact there with Cuban diplomats and spies who wanted JFK dead and might have offered help and encouragement.

In internal memos not made public until years after his death, Thomas told supervisors such information from Mexico could undermine the findings of the presidential panel that determined in 1964 that Oswald acted alone. In one memo, Thomas warned that the Mexico information “threatened to reopen the debate about the true nature of the Kennedy assassination and damage the credibility of the Warren report”.

For historians, Oswald’s trip to Mexico has never been adequately explained. Available records shows that the CIA and FBI knew much more about it – and the threat Oswald posed – than they ever shared with the Warren commission. The agencies appear to have withheld evidence out of fear they might be blamed for bungling intelligence that could have saved Kennedy’s life.

Oswald, a Marine Corps veteran and self-declared Marxist who had once tried to defect to the Soviet Union, met in Mexico with Cuban and Soviet diplomats and spies and, according to a long-secret FBI report, talked openly about his plan to kill Kennedy.

Given Trump’s deadline next week – a deadline he set himself – to release thousands of still-classified documents related to the assassination held by the National Archives, the Thomas family says questions about their family tragedy are urgent once again.

Many of those documents are known to have come out of the files of the CIA station in Mexico at about the time of Oswald’s visit, which suggests they could bolster Thomas’s suspicions about what happened there.

In an interview, Thomas’s youngest daughter, Zelda Thomas-Curti, a Minneapolis business consultant who was born in Mexico, described her father as “one of America’s most important – if mostly unrecognized – 20th-century government whistleblowers”.

On behalf of her family, including her own three children, Thomas-Curti said she had written to Trump, to ask him to do justice to her father’s memory by releasing all remaining JFK files.

“Washington overpowered my father like a steam shovel, tossing him into a heap like discarded dirt,” she wrote. “But he was a hero who was out there fighting for the truth.” She told Trump that she wanted “my three children to know that their grandfather was a real-life hero”.

Thomas’s widow, Cynthia, who went on to her own career in the state department and now lives in Minnesota, said the family deserved to see all the JFK documents. “My grandchildren are entitled to know the truth about Charles,” she said.

Thank you Professor Sellars for proving once again that some people can't let others just enjoy themselves. The original authors thesis was that there were lots of coincidences. He does not allege conspiracy, he does not allege the stars are in alignment, nor does he state that the staff at Christopher Newport University neglected their duties and forgot to teach its students such information. He was merely having fun.So please lighten up, take it for what it is meant to be-pure enjoyment, and keep working hard so you can make full Professor.

A few mistakes made, but still there are some incredible similarities.

1) Marilyn Monroe died on August 5th 1962, so it was impossible for Kennedy to have been with her when he died on Nov. 22nd 1963.

2)Booth was born in 1838, not 1839.

3)Lincoln never had a secretary named Kennedy, they were named John J. Nicolay and John M. Hay.

Irregardless, there are some strange similarities.

Arcky - 11/21/2003

Marilyn Monroe died in 1962 NOT so Kennedy could not have been with her one week before he was assassinated.

Cornelia Shields - 11/20/2003

The assassinations coincidence page listed above is great! It contained some amazing facts of which I was unaware, and is a must to consult for anyone preparing a comprehensive list for the 40th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination on Saturday. I'd like to post links to it on discussion groups and print it for my dad, an avid assassinations buff. Below are some contributions and questions of mine.

(This is from my dad)--Both presidents were in motion when shot. (Not very strong, as there doesn't seem to be proof that Lincoln was actually rocking the rocking chair when shot--but, President Kennedy's favorite chair, which was most associated with him, was a rocker. Is it possible to contact Ford's theater for a background on the Lincoln chair's history? Since Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln built by the Ford Motor Company, it would be cool if Lincoln's Ford's Theater rocker were either built by someone named Kennedy, or related to the Kennedy family.)

--Both Lincoln and Kennedy lost an adult sister who never lived to see her brother be president.

--You could also say both were moved from the place where they were shot and pronounced dead in another place.

--Both presidents being concerned with civil rights is perhaps a bit weak, but a stronger connection is that both assassinations were deemed southern-oriented conspiracies against the president, and that he was targeted because of his politics. (In Oswald's case, he turned out to be a left-wing nut, though, not the expected right-wing nut.)

--In light of the fact that some people visit Oswald's grave only to spit and walk away, and that people from Dallas were blamed for decades for the president's death--spat on, cussed at, turned out of restaurants, and so on--I find it amazing that neither Booth's nor Oswald's brothers and sisters seem to have been much discriminated against for their connection, though they were questioned about their brother, at least in the form of interviews. (And I thought Oswald had only one brother--at least one page, I believe the one cited above, says two, but, oh, well--both seem to have been well-respected, as were Booth's brothers. Were Oswald and Booth the only "bad egg" in each of their respective families?)

--In each case, the assassin's mother was living at the time. (I think Oswald's mother maintained his innocence--don't know about Booth's.)

--In both cases, relics of the scene were preserved. Don't know about Lincoln's clothes but I know a photograph exists of the actual contents of his pockets when shot, and also a photograph of Kennedy's bloodstained shirt. Both Ford's Theater and the Texas School Book Depository are now museums. Lincoln's blood is still on the rocker. (So it would be technically possible to clone them both from that--then perhaps make a combined clone. Ugh, uck.)

What has astonished me since the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr., is the parallels between the couples' children. The page cited above states correctly that each couple had four children, two of whom died before their teens. You might clarify that:

--Each couple lost one child BEFORE entering the White House, one child WHILE in the White House, and one child who died childless AFTER leaving the White House. The Lincolns lost a son, Edward, while the Kennedys had a stillborn daugher prior to Caroline. The Lincolns lost Willie while in the White House, while the Kennedys lost Patrick Bouvier, who was NOT (as some pages erroneously state) a miscarriage, but a premature baby who lived two days. (This makes the Lincolns and Kennedys more similar to each other than to other bereaved Presidential parents. For instance, the Coolidges lost a son, Calvin, in the White House, but they had only two sons and did not lose a child both before and after the presidency as the Lincolns and Kennedys did. Of course, it's not an exact parallel as Willie Lincoln was the only son to actually die IN the White House itself--Calvin and Patrick both died in hospitals attended by doctors. Like Lincoln and Kennedy, Coolidge also lost an adult sister before his presidency, and, like Lincoln, it was his only sister--maybe someone should look into this.)

--Tad Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, Jr., both had birthdays near the time of their father's assassination. Tad turned 12 just 10 days before his father was shot, while John Jr. turned 3 on the day of his father's funeral.

--Of each couple's four children, only one lived to have their own children. Tad Lincoln died unmarried, while John F. Kennedy Jr. died married, but childless.

--Each child who did have children, Robert Lincoln and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, had exactly the same: two girls and one boy.

--In each case, the boy was named after his grandfather, the president, but called "Jack." Robert Lincoln said his son would be called "Jack" until he proved worthy of the name of Abraham Lincoln, but "Jack" died at 19. Caroline's son, John Kennedy Schlossberg, is called "Jack."

--Of Robert Lincoln's children, only one had a child, a boy who had no children. More parallels? Watch this space over the next 40 years.

--Both wives were with their husbands when he was shot. None of the children were with their parents when their father was shot. I know Robert and Tad learned of it from others, and am pretty sure Caroline and John also did.

--In each case, the family were all buried together except for one son. Jacqueline Kennedy had the remains of her two infants moved to Arlington and herself buried there near John F. Kennedy. It would have been easy for John F. Kennedy, Jr., to be placed with them, but his sister, Caroline, decided any gravesite of his might be defaced, so he was buried at sea. The remains of Willie, Tad, and Mary Lincoln were all moved to be placed with Edward and Abraham in a family tomb in Springfield, Illinois. Like the Kennedy infants, Willie was moved at the time of his father's burial. Robert oversaw the security of this tomb, but was buried someplace else himself!

--Isn't there something a bit ironic about the Kennedys being buried at Arlington National Cemetery, which was Robert E. Lee's home--seized from his family by Lincoln's soldiers!

I'll let you know if I come up with more.

A friend recently saw the Lincoln-Kennedy parallels posted at her retirement home, and I suggested we look for similar apparent or superficial coincidences between the 2 other assassinated US Presidents, viz. Garfield and McKinley. Both have 8 letters in their last name. Both were shot in large public places. Both were Civil War officers. Both were from Ohio. Both were succeeded by Vice-Presidents from New York. Are there others?

i have to disagree with the last statement about kennedy being with mariyln monroe a week before he was shot not true monroe was dead a year before kennedy was shot

Hilda V. - 7/3/2003

I made a thesis on the above subject several years ago. In addition, I discovered several more parallels, but unfortunately, I can't find a hard copy of my thesis anymore.
But what I do remember are : Both of them have favorite poets named Robert (one was Robert Frost, I forgot the other one. but you could check further), both kept a little black book where they write down notes, both were strongly opposed to slavery (JFK was the first president after Lincoln who tackled emancipation strongly), JFK's secretary, Mrs. Lincoln, was married to man named Abraham, both of their assassins were killed even before being brought to trial, both lost a son while in office and both of their wives (Mary Todd & Jackie Bouvier) were both smart, well-educated women who came from prominent/rich families.

Kevin M. Fitzpatrick - 11/22/2002

I am writing this a few minutes before Nov.22. A writer whose name I unfortunately forget just wrote a book "Blood on the Moon".The author's thesis is that the assasination of President Lincoln was a Confederate Secret Service operation. Nevertheless,in popular culture Booth has been portrayed as the first of the lone-nut gunman. We all assume the Southern slaveholders were honorable men who, while they might whip a black or hire someone to whip him,would not stoop to murder their enemies.

Nigel Sellars - 11/21/2002

Let's look at compelling differences.

1. Lincoln was shot by a derringer Kennedy with a rifle.

2. Lincoln's assassin was an actor, Kennedy's a book depository worker.

3. Lincoln was killed in Washinton at the theater, Kennedy in a motorcade in Dallas.

4. Lincoln's sole military experience was captain of militia unit which never saw action Kennedy captained aPT boat, saw action, and proved himself a hero.

5. Lincoln may have had Marfan's syndrome Kennedy had Addison's disease.

6. Lincoln had little schooling, Kennedy graduated from Harvard and attended Standford for grad work.

7. Lincoln's family originally came from England Kennedy's from Ireland.

8. Lincoln's grandfather was killed by Indians Kennedy's was mayor of Boston.

9. Lincoln's father was a periapatetic failure Kennedy's extremely wealthy.

10. Lincon's mother died while he was young, and he had a loving stepmother Kennedy's mother outlived him and died in her nineties.

I could go on and on, but I won't because obsessions with minutae are trivial and miss the point.

BTW, Lincoln did not have a secretary named Kennedy. His secretary was John Hay. His did, however, know a NY Police Commissioner named John Kennedy (!) who expressed concern for Lincoln's safety after his 1860 election and before his 1861 inaugaral, but not later.

Nor, to my knowledge, was Lincoln actually a boat captain, unless you want to stretch his poling a flatboat down the Mississippi to such a lofty position.

As Skeptical Inquirer has noted, such coincidences have little, if any, meaning and are generally totally unimportant except for those of a conspiratorial bent.

Richard Nixon and Thomas Jefferson both served as VP before becoming President.

"Nixon" and "Jefferson" both end in "-on".

Both were elected to their first terms by narrow margins, and to their second terms by wide margins.

Both had vice-presidents who left office under a cloud of scandal (Burr, Agnew).

The next president elected after each was a Southerner named James.

Both had lost a presidential election to a Harvard graduate named John from a wealthy, prominent Massachusetts family, before finally winning the presidency.

This is from Skeptical Inquirer, Spring 1992. Several lists of "amazing Presidential coincidences" are given to show how easy they are to come up with.

The reason it's easy to develop such lists is that the lists consist only of the few coincidences. The far more numerous differences are passed over.

David Parker - 11/19/2002

"Marilyn Monroe's death occurred on August 5, 1962," meaning, of course, that the statement that John Kennedy was "with" her a week before his death could not be true.

Professor Gould is exactly right. That's why I said it was a silly statement, on a par with "Jackie Kennedy liked bananas, Mary Todd Lincoln went bananas." I assume that whoever added those to the list of Lincoln/Kennedy parallels, a list that probably numbers a hundred or more items now, did so as a joke.

Just out of curiosity--and this is one I DON'T know--was Lincoln in fact in Monroe, Maryland, a week before his death? does such a place even exist?

Lewis L. Gould - 11/19/2002

Marilyn Monroe's death occurred on August 5, 1962.

X - 11/18/2002

David Parker - 11/18/2002

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland a week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

David Parker - 11/18/2002

Valerie Klein barely scratches the surface with her list. I've seen the following:

-- Lincoln was killed in FORD's Theater Kennedy was killed while riding in a Lincoln convertible (a car made by the FORD motor Co.).

-- Lincoln was in Box 7 of Ford's Theater JFK was in car number 7 of the motorcade in Dallas.

-- Neither one died immediately. Lincoln was taken to the Petersen House, Kennedy to Parkland Hospital (both with initials PH).

-- Both presidents liked rocking chairs.

-- Jackie Kennedy loved bananas Mary Todd Lincoln went bananas. (see, it gets silly after a while, like the one about Marilyn.)

-- Both men were known by 3-letter names: ABE and JFK. (Actually, I made this one up, but it's true.)

John Allen Paulos, in _A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper_, told how a computer programmer named John Leavy showed that these lists of parallels are really meaningless coincidence by constructing similar lists for other presidents. For example, Leavy looked at two other assassinated presidents, William McKinley and James Garfield. "Both of these presidents were Republicans who were born and bred in Ohio. They were both Civil War veterans, and both served in the House of Representatives. Both were ardent supporters of protective tariffs and the gold standard, and both of their last names contained eight letters. After their assassinations they were replaced with their vice presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and Chester Alan Arthur, who were both from New York City, who both sported mustaches, and who both had names containing seven letters. Both presidents were slain during the first September of their respective terms by assassins, Charles Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz, who had foreign-sounding names."

Of course it's no worse than the "elected in a year that ended in a zero" story.

I remember seeing a few years ago a similar chart comparing Elvis Presley and Kennedy. I wish I'd saved it--it was funny.

Frank Lee - 11/18/2002

Ms. Klein gets to her point in the end. It's questionable, though, how many "true believers" will pay attention to her final paragraph when there are so many coincidences to sift through and add to their lists on the way there.
