About Kennedy 关于肯尼迪
John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy often referred to by his initials JFK, was the 35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
After military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 and Motor Torpedo Boat PT-59 during World War II in the South Pacific, Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the US House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat. Thereafter, he served in the US Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 US presidential election. He was the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43, the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), and the first president to have been born in the 20th Century. Kennedy is the only Catholic and the first Irish American president, and is the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize. Events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early stages of the Vietnam War.
Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime but was shot and killed two days later by Jack Ruby before any trial. The FBI, the Warren Commission, and the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded that Oswald was the assassin, with the HSCA allowing for the probability of conspiracy based on disputed acoustic evidence. Today, Kennedy continues to rank highly in public opinion ratings of former US presidents.
1961年1月20日，肯尼迪向全体美国人发表了堪称经典的总统就职演说："不要问你们的国家能给予你们什么，问一问你能为你的国家做些什么。"他还希望全世界各个国家联合起来对付他所称的"人类共同敌人......暴政、贫穷、疾病与战争本身。"肯尼迪的水星相位非常好，不仅与火木合象，而且刑天王星、拱月亮，他的口才自然是一流，而且即兴演讲能力也是非常的高，他的这段救治演说到现在仍是一句激动人心的名言。
然而，似乎肯尼迪家族总有着逃不开的厄运，在1963年11月22日，当肯尼迪总统乘坐的林肯牌豪华敞篷汽车沿达拉斯市街道缓缓行进到埃尔姆街拐弯处时，他忽然被人开枪击中，一头扎倒在身边的杰奎琳怀中，这就是令人震惊的肯尼迪被刺事件，这件事到现在还是一个众说纷纭的谜。虽然肯尼迪总统从1960年开始当总统到1963年去世只有短短三年时间，但不少美国人仍然认为肯尼迪总统是他们最伟大的总统之一。
