Very interesting! I learned a lot!
We are seeing more and more books being published about the JFK and his presidency. Today (November 8, 2010) is the 50th Anniversary of JFK's Presidential Election.
Lots of interesting tidbits and facts. There are also some interesting facts / contributions for things that happened right after Kennedy's assassination and in the weeks following.

A great distillation of history. JFK's White House was action-packed; he accomplished a great deal during his brief presidency.
