ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce lengthy excerpts from copyrighted biographical material about John F. Kennedy. However, here is a high-level summary: John F. Kennedy was born in 1917 in Massachusetts. He came from a politically active Irish Catholic family. He joined the U.S. Navy during World War II and commanded motor torpedo boats in the Pacific. After the war, he was elected to Congress in 1946. He went on to serve three terms in the House and two terms in the Senate. During his Senate career, he emphasized labor reform and civil rights issues. He ran for President in 1960 and defeated Richard Nixon in one of the closest presidential elections in history. As President, Kennedy confronted mounting Cold War tensions. He approved the failed Bay of Pigs invasion but successfully navigated the Cuban Missile Crisis. Tragically, his presidency was cut short when he was assassinated in 1963 at age 46. Kennedy remains an iconic figure known for his youth, charisma, and idealism. His brief time in office left a lasting imprint on American politics. I summarized the key biographical details while being careful not to reproduce copyrighted material verbatim or at excessive length.
