John Fitzgerald Kennedy

　　The Kennedy clan is often considered the only Royal family the United States has ever had. What makes it so is not their wealth or political role, but rather the aura of nobility surrounding them. JFK was the embodiment of this. A Navy officer during World War II, he became a congressman in 1947 and a U.S. senator in 1952. Nine years later, he led the Democratic Party to the White House, becoming the 35th American president。

　　His term in office was often dubbed the New Frontier since it was an era of change. He put an end to segregation, established the Peace Corps, and masterminded the resolution of the Cuban missile crisis. Unfortunately, he is often best remembered for his assassination in November 1963. For all his youthful energy and magnetism, he represented the quintessence of America。

　　Best quote: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country。”

約翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪

　　肯尼迪家族通常被認為是美國所擁有的唯一的王室家族。之所以如此，不是因為他們擁有的財富，也不是因為他們所扮演的政治角色，而是因為他們身上所籠罩的那種高貴的光環。肯尼迪就是這一光環的化身。二戰期間他是一名海軍指揮官，1947年成了一名國會議員，1952年任美國參議員。九年之后，他率領民主黨走進了白宮，成為第35屆美國總統。

　　他任職期間通常被稱作“新邊疆”時期，因為那是一個變革的時代。他廢除了種族隔離制度，組建了和平隊，為消除古巴導彈危機出謀劃策。不幸的是，他留給人們最深的記憶卻是他在1963年的遇刺。由于年輕、充滿活力和魅力，他成了美國精髓的化身。
