Suddenly the blue-green Gulf Stream erupted with convulsive fury. Like a giant marlin in a cascade of brine, a grey, bottle-shaped monster leaped into the afternoon. For an instant it hung against the sky-silent, ominous, streaming foam. Then it came alive with unearthly racket. Its tail belched flame, and it climbed into its new element with incredible ease. Arcing high into the thin, cold reaches of space, the first ballistic missile ever to be fired from a submerged submarine swung surely toward the south and east.

"Boy, this is for me," he boomed over the phone to a friend. "Let those other guys run around out there." By Friday night it was time for him, too, to head "out there." As he left home, the Irish maids of wealthy Hyannisport neighbors lined up across the street to give him a sendoff. From Hyannis, he and Wife Jackie flew to New York...
Said Kennedy of Lyndon Johnson to the 2,000 who flocked around at Los Angeles' International Airport: "A few days ago another candidate said that we needed a man with a little grey in his hair. We put that grey in his hair and we will continue...
