What was JFK best and the brightest?
The focus of the book is on the foreign policy crafted by the academics and intellectuals who were in John F. Kennedy's administration, and the consequences of those policies in Vietnam.
Here President Kennedy is reminding us of the unfortunate lessons of history, especially of the 20th century when western Europe, Great Britain, Canada and the US stood by and watched as the rights of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and others were gradually eroded, then finally trampled under the authority of Nazi Germany and its allies, including Italy and Vichy France.
The process was incremental and, at first hardly noticeable. With each small step Nazi Germany became more bold and each small step to diminish the rights of one group, (for example, homosexuals ) lead to another move (against gypsies), then to another move (against Jews ), then, when Hitler was sure the neighbouring powers were sufficiently indifferent, he moved against Czechoslovakia, then finally against Poland.
The result was a devastating war that served finally to remind us that we truly are connected and share a common destiny. The lesson is that, if we cared enough about the diminished rights of homosexuals to take positive steps to protect them, then the conditions would not have existed for the Nazi's to move on to gypsies, then to Jews then to neighbouring states.
The question is always, "Do we care enough to take steps to defend others or must we always wait in indifference until we ourselves are threatened?"

How did JFK affect lives today?
President John F. Kennedy greets supporters during his visit to Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday, November 22, 1963. This month marks 50 years since his assassination in Dallas, an event that jarred the nation and fueled a multitude of conspiracy theories about whether Kennedy was killed by a single gunman acting alone in the Texas School Book Depository. Here are some images from that fateful day as it unfolded.

How many women did pistol pete sleep with?

How did lack of a mandate affect Kennedy's administration?
(This answer is the right one) Without a mandate, Kennedy had difficulty pushing his more controversial measures through Congress.
Did The U.S. Navy blockaded Cuba to prevent delivery of Soviet missiles?
Yes - as part of the "Cuban Missile Crisis", JFK decided to order a "quarantine" of Cuba to prevent more missiles from being shipped there. It wasn't officially designated a "blockade" because, by international law, a "blockade" is considered an act of war. In reality, this was just a semantic ruse because what was done was effectively a blockade. The blockade officially began when it was announced by Kennedy in a speech on October 22, 1962. The U.S. Government announced the end of the blockade effective at 6:45 pm EST on November 20, 1962 after inspecting aircraft and ships that were leaving Cuba carrying the subject missiles and support equipment.
When did John F. Kennedy enter the US Navy?
JFK was the skipper for a patrol boat- PT-109 - during the second world war.
What happened to the transcripts of Lee Harvey Oswald's interrogation?
There never were any. It wasn't done back then; the Dallas PD did not even have a tape recorder. Worthwhile gear back then cost a fortune, and the PDs tended to prefer to have no recording anyway, as it meant they could put whatever words in the suspect's mouth they wanted to, and it would be their word against the suspects. It was only later that PDs started taping, probably so they could prove in court they weren't working over the suspects. A Captain Fritz of the DPD did take some scratch notes, as did some FBI agents, and I am sure you can find them on the Net. Probably the best place to start is the link I am putting below. It is in my opinion the best, by far, JFK assassination page on the Net.

Heinz Company, which was founded by Henry J. Heinz in the 19th century. Maria Shriver is the niece of President John F. Kennedy and a member of the prominent Kennedy family.
