The televised presidential debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon during the 1960 United States Presidential Election were the first of their kind, allowing the American public to see the candidates interact live. A direct, almost immediate result was a shift in support for Kennedy, as Nixon profusely sweated and gave clear signs of anxiety throughout the debate, while Kennedy kept his calm poise in tact. This was most apparent during the first debate on Sept. 26, 1960, when Richard Nixon showed up to the debate just mere hours after campaigning, looking exhausted and sick.

In his personal life, he was an inveterate womanizer. Aside from the moral questions, his flings with foreign operatives posed a security risk that might likely have led to impeachment if he had lived to serve a second term.
As president, some his decisions can be questioned, but I do not think any were clearly bad. He pushed the US to the brink of war with the USSR. As it turned out, the Soviets backed down , but if they had not, we might have had WW III start in his term-- did we gain as much as we risked? Relations with Cuba are still suffering from his policies there.

In the 20th century the U.S. minted true silver dollars (i.e. made of 90% silver) from 1901 to 1904 and again from 1921 to 1935. A trial run of new dollars was made in 1964 but they were never released and all are presumed to have been melted.
By 1965 the price of silver had increased to the point where silver coins were worth more than their face value so not only was dollar production again suspended, new lower-denomination coins were struck in cupronickel instead of silver. From 1971 to 1978 a large-size (38.1 mm) cupronickel dollar coin was minted but it only circulated in a few regions of the country. In 1979 the coin was downsized to 26.5 mm, and in 2000 the metal was changed to the gold-colored brass that's used in the current Sacajawea and Presidential dollar coins.
