Kennedy embraced the
new media, even
wearing television make-
up to improve his
appearance.
Nixon opted against make-
up. He was also recovering
from a cold on the evening
of the debate.

Nixon looked anxious
and uncomfortable.

Kennedy’s Inaugural AddressKennedy was the youngest person ever to be elected president. His
youth helped provide the theme to his inaugural address:
“Let the word go forth…
That the torch has been
passed to a new
generation of Americans…
The energy, the faith, the
devotion which we bring
to this endeavor will light
our country and all who
serve it…And so, my fellow
Americans-ask not what
your country can do for
you-ask what you can do
for your country.”

The Camelot Years
With JFK’s
youthful glamour
and his talented
advisors, the
Kennedy White
House reminded
many of a modern-
day “Camelot,” the
mythical court of
King Arthur.

Tragedy in DallasIn the fall of 1963,
President and
Mrs. Kennedy went
to Texas to mend
political fences with
members of the
state’s Democratic
Party.

being transferred

broke through the

killed Oswald.

Because there is not trial
mystery and conspiracy
theories abound. In
1963, the Warren
Commission investigated
and concluded that
Lee Harvey Oswald
had shot the president
while acting on his own.

Americans can recall watching the funeral on television.
