From the Paper:

"John F. Kennedy was America's first Catholic president. He was the second-eldest son of Joe Kennedy, a controversial Irish businessman and multimillionaire who became head of the Securities and Exchange Commission and ambassador to Great Britain. Joe Kennedy famously opposed America's entry into World War II, which damaged any aspirations he may have had to building his own political career. His ambitions were transferred to his eldest son, Joe Jr., but after Joe's death during the war, they then shifted to John. Joe was determined that one of his sons would be president ("J.F.K.," 1994, DC Tourist Map)."
