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。”

约翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪

　　肯尼迪家族通常被认为是美国所拥有的唯一的王室家族。之所以如此，不是因为他们拥有的财富，也不是因为他们所扮演的政治角色，而是因为他们身上所笼罩的那种高贵的光环。肯尼迪就是这一光环的化身。二战期间他是一名海军指挥官，1947年成了一名国会议员，1952年任美国参议员。九年之后，他率领民主党走进了白宫，成为第35届美国总统。

　　他任职期间通常被称作“新边疆”时期，因为那是一个变革的时代。他废除了种族隔离制度，组建了和平队，为消除古巴导弹危机出谋划策。不幸的是，他留给人们最深的记忆却是他在1963年的遇刺。由于年轻、充满活力和魅力，他成了美国精髓的化身。
