More Description1961 was a very turbulent year! It started out positive with words of hope when President Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you ..., ... that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans ..." and more.In 1961, this president, although relatively young and inexperienced, kept the United States out of at least four threatening conflagrations that could have led to war with the Leninist Soviet Union.What if this rich kid, Haarvard graduate and Roman Catholic had lost to Richard Nixon. Everyone knows what he did eight years later.President Kennedy took on the 'money cartel', the 'good fellas' in the mob, CIA and parts of the military. He managed with his no war pledge to keep them at bay for more than two and one half years, but finally they won the struggle on November 22, 1963!
