Did bang Monroe and when he looked at me, I looked to him like the next one. Jackie was there and gave me such a look. I was 18, working at the National Convention for famous photographer Stanley Tretick, getting names of people he shot.. Jackie let Stan take wonderful pictures of her and the kids at their homes, published in book, A Very Special President.

Indeed, JFK was a player.

JFK also emptied the mental hospitals which eventually became the American homeless.

He unionized federal employees.

Signed the first affirmative action law.

He ran on chain migration and tried to pass his immigration dream which eventually passed as his 1965 Immigration bill.

The President’s Commission on the Status of Women endorsed workplace equality, child care facilities for working women, paid maternity leave, better Social Security benefits for widows, and equal pay for comparable work.

The War on Poverty (an idea he had rolled out during the campaign) sought to alleviate penury, especially among the elderly, by pushing for Medicare and expanded Social Security benefits.

He used federal troops to ensure the enrollment of black students at the universities of Mississippi and Alabama; his administration implemented the first “affirmative action” program for government employees and contractors.

He sent over 16,000 troops to Vietnam.

Had his teenage girlfriend fellate his friend at the White House.

Kennedy endorsed the United Nations as “our last best hope,”

He withdrew for the Cuban rebels the sufficient air cover they needed at the Bay of Pigs.

“His acolytes created the ridiculous ‘Camelot’ myth”

IIRC, Jackie, a big fan of the musical that was relatively new at the time, created the myth and pushed it hard. The acolytes and press jumped on it and promoted it.
