10. He was a courageous ground-breaker, and for a moment you were able to actually see him,
sharing space on the same block in the same town, in your line of sight, breathing the same air.

I'll never forget how alarmed the Protestant world was at the prospect of a Catholic President, after they had spent so much time villifying Catholics as alien who had allegience to Rome! The Republicans made the most of that inbred fear during the campaign, to be sure!

Can you imagine how homely, and provincial the country would have continued to be, how small-minded, simplistic, childish, and empty, if John Kennedy hadn't stepped in for a time, and broadened everyone's perspective?
