Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that John F. Kennedy was by all means a successful President. The writer points out that with the Cold War overshadowing his presidency, John F. Kennedy successfully prevented the outbreak of a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union, while at the same time domestically fighting for civil rights and bringing attention to the need for foreign aid to underdeveloped countries. To evaluate his success the writer notes that one must not look at his predecessors, but at the state of affairs of the United States when Kennedy came to power. The writer concludes that John F. Kennedy was successful in his presidency because of the significant contributions he made to the American people and to the people of the world.
From the Paper
"The Ghettos were generally populated by blacks, but there were also known to be other ethnic races coinciding. The ghettos residents were largely impoverished which led to problems with crime, housing, employment, and lack of sanitation, education and health care. This segregation imposed upon them by the more affluent white middle class began to stir up a civil rights movement.
"In his pre-election campaign, Kennedy had chosen to ignore Civil Rights, preferring to show no view, as he feared antagonising the white southern vote. But, ten days before the election an event which would help shape the destiny of Kennedy's presidency occurred."

Abstract
This paper explains that everyone, even young children can remember the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, November 22, 1963 and the shocking events that followed. The author reports that, if news disturbed the average citizen, it devastated members of the military, who were currently at war with Vietnam and standing ready outside of Cuba and in Eastern Europe. The paper concludes that Kennedy's death marked the death of innocence for the United States; the country and the world will never be the same. Several long quotations.
From the Paper
"There were other people who also wanted to kill Kennedy. The San Bernardino Evening Telegram reports in an article "Catch Escapee Who Wanted to Kill JFK" that in a town called Ogdensburg in upstate New York "state police today took into custody an escaped mental patient described by police as a man who wanted to kill President Kennedy and New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller because he, the patient, had been unable to go to Russia" President Ahmed Ben Bella, of Algiers, decried the assassination as the work of bigots who opposed desegregation, "We denounce with venemence this absolutely infamous act which through President Kennedy sought to brake his humane actions in favor of desegreation." Ben Bella's argument makes sense considering Kennedy was killed in Dallas."

"John F Kennedy once said, "Today is day that will do down in infamy." Little did he know, that day had not yet come. The day that will go down in infamy, is November 22, 1963. The day John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot in the head in the back of a convertible riding through the streets of Dallas. The nation was in shock. "The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy on November 22, 1963, was a cruel and shocking act of violence directed against a man, a family, a nation, and against all mankind" (Report of the Warren Commission On the Assassination of President Kennedy. New York Times: New York, 1964, P.19). Every person alive that day remembers what they were doing at the time they heard the news of Kennedy's assassination. It is a moment in time burned into their brain."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although there is a sufficient number of incriminating facts against Lee Harvey Oswald Oswald, there is just as much evidence to prove that Oswald was innocent of assassinating President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The author claims that the Central Intelligence Agency was involved because it wanted the United States to enter the Vietnam War, but President Kennedy was reluctant to send our troops. The paper relates that Kennedy's body was most likely tampered with before the autopsy in Washington. The author points out that the Secret Service despised Kennedy because he threatened to disband the FBI several times. The paper concludes that it is obvious that Oswald was framed. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"Later that day when the Knoll was inspected, cigarette butts and fresh footprints were found behind the fence, proving that someone had been there recently. During the motorcade, two men were spotted exchanging hand signals. One of the men would pump his umbrella and the other man raised his right hand. The umbrella was closed until Kennedy was directly opposite the man at which he pumped the umbrella, and the other man raised his right fist in the air. Robert Cutler, an assassination researcher, said the umbrella was likely to be a dart gun (one of the fifty issued by the CIA in 1963) which shot Kennedy in the throat and paralyzed him."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the Warren Commission concluded that all shots were fired from the School Book Depository, the assassination of President Kennedy at Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963, was more than likely the result of a triangulated gunfire. The author stresses that, today, the lone assassin theory has gone the way of "Alice in Wonderland" because polls have shown that a majority of Americans regard the theory as ludicrous; the House Assassinations Committee concluded that the assassination of President Kennedy was probably the result of a conspiracy. The paper reviews several possible assassins from such spheres as the CIA and FBI, the Mafia, the Ku Klux Klan, the military-industrial complex, the Cuban exiles, the corporate world and others.

From the Paper
"In 1963, there were several contracts on President Kennedy's head. And some of those contracts took the form of direct threats. One such threat was reported in a telex to the FBI days before the assassination, warning of an attempt on the president's life by a militant group "somewhere in the South." Unfortunately, for some inexplicable reason, that warning was ignored. Other warnings were ignored in the days leading up to the assassination. Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden warned that a militant group might be planning to assassinate President Kennedy. CIA agent Gary Underwood warned that a militant group in the Far East was planning to kill the president. Dallas nightclub dancer Rose Cheramie, beaten and left on the road days before the assassination, warned, "they're going to kill Kennedy." "

Abstract
This paper is on "The John F. Kennedy Assassination". The novel is a bold treatment of a vital event in American modern history. But just how reliable are the witnesses? The presumed assassin of President John F. Kennedy, Oswald allegedly shot Kennedy from a high window of a building in Dallas on November 22, 1963, as Kennedy rode down the street in an open car. Oswald was captured the day of the assassination, but was never tried; two days after Kennedy's death, as police were moving Oswald, a nightclub owner from Dallas, Jack Ruby, shot and killed him. A government commission led by Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded later that Oswald, though active in communist causes, was not part of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy.

Abstract
This paper researches, in depth, a few of the many conspiracy theories that surround the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The author discusses the Warren Commission's comprehensive report that states that Lee Harvey Oswald was the only shooter, and offers a personal opinion of the report. The paper shows the American government in a negative light and challenges the many cover-ups, misinformation and secrecy surrounding the assassination.
From the Paper
" The problem with every theory, no matter how "far out" is that there is still a lot of secrecy about the assassination, about the autopsy, and related elements. There are documents which the Kennedy family has prohibited from being released for many more years. Then, recently, the announcement was made that, sometime in the 1960's the coffin in which JFK's body was returned to Washington was dropped into the ocean, so it could never be used as a "memento". All the more reason, now, conspiracy theorists say, that there is something secret that was in that coffin which the American Public will never learn about."

Abstract
The paper discusses the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and examines the possibility of either the Mafia or the CIA to conspiring to kill President Kennedy. he author writes that the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, discrepancies in the Warren Report, use of different firearms and ballistic information and key things missing in autopsy photographs all suggest a cover-up.
From the Paper
" On November 22, 1963, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Seven days later on November 29, 1963, the newly sworn in President, Lyndon B. Johnson, formed a commission that would investigate the assassination. The Warren Commission, as it would later be known, was to evaluate all leads and facts surrounding both the assassination of the President and the assassination of his alleged assassin. After the investigation was complete, the information found was to be reported to the President. The Commission gave their findings to the President in the form of the Warren Report, as the chairman of the Commission was Earl Warren. President Johnson had appointed Warren, the former chief justice of the United States, to head up the Commission. The Commission was able to compile much of its information with the help of Federal agencies, the city of Dallas, and thousands upon thousands of testimonies from people associated with the case. The Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin of President Kennedy and that Jack Ruby had killed Lee Harvey Oswald."

John F. Kennedy, 2004.
An analysis of who the real John F. Kennedy was.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to discover who the real John F. Kennedy was. The paper claims that, shrouded in myth and mystery, Kennedy is usually presented as a leader who could make a difference. He is seen as a man of character who wanted equal civil rights for blacks, effectively dealt with the Cuban missile crisis, was a good father and had a perfect wife. Kennedy is even touted as the man who could direct the country to more prosperity had he not died in office. The paper contends that this is just a mythical image of Kennedy. The paper identifies the real Kennedy as shockingly less pious and anything but a good leader. What he promised he never delivered and was consistently unfaithful to his very devoted wife.
From the Paper
"Let us start with his political undertakings. As much as we would love to believe that Kennedy was a great political leader, the truth is that he was anything but that. President Kennedy used the political system to his advantage only and not for public's benefit. For one he never tried to change or shape the system in which he worked. He was too concerned about his own popularity to try changing public opinion or political system. Leaders bring changes; they are fearless and love taking calculated risks. Kennedy doesn't fulfill any of these conditions. He avoided risks even the ones that the country desperately expected him to take such as civil rights for blacks. He always played safe simply because that was afraid of losing his popularity in the Congress. "

John F. Kennedy: A Transformational Leader, 2005.
This paper selects John F. Kennedy as a transformational leader based on the book "Leadership Enhancing the Lessons of Experience" by R.L. Hughes et. al..

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that John F. Kennedy was a transformational leader in the 1960s in the U.S. and abroad because, even though he was certainly charismatic, his basic achievements were to enlist and arouse political activism among the young, a generation which had seldom been concerned with politics. The author points out that Kennedy's ability to reframe issues by (1) arousing emotions of his followers, (2) dealing with conflict and change, (3) utilizing his outstanding rhetorical skills, (4) creating an image, (5) developing a sense of trust and (6) establishing group cohesiveness made him a transformational leader. The paper relates that, unlike the text's examples of other transformational leaders, Kennedy cannot truly be judged on his accomplishments since he was assassinated well before many of his ideas became reality and his legislative and foreign affairs efforts worked out.
From the Paper
"Kennedy had to deal with conflict and change. This meant not only the Cold War with Russia, but the serious situations escalating in Viet Nam. Of course, the two most serious conflicts during his presidency were the Cuban missile crisis, where he and his advisers managed to get Krushchev to back down from the installation of missile sites in Cuba; and the Bay of Pigs fiasco, where poor planning and judgment led to the deaths and capture of some Cuban refugees trying (with the covert help of the U.S.) to invade Cuba and somehow overthrow Fidel Castro."

Speculation: What if Kennedy had lived?
From the Paper
"On this issue, Kennedy and Webb experienced a serious disagreement during the meeting. Webb, as mentioned above, was concerned about the technical and scientific necessity of key programs at NASA for the success of the Apollo mission. Programs such as the Centaur upper stage and the Surveyor would for example be neglected if Apollo received priority attention above all else. Webb's second concern was his own negotiating position in the face of a clear statement from the president regarding the priority of Apollo. If the president were to clearly state the priority of Apollo above other programs, Webb feared that this might be to the detriment of his position (Garber, 2002)."
"Specifically, the key programs mentioned above were not formally part of the Apollo program. Webb nonetheless believed that their timely completion was crucial to the success of Apollo. Centaur for example was created with the purpose of robotic probes into space, its relevance to the Apollo program lay in its use of liquid hydrogen for a propulsion fuel. Webb felt that the knowledge gained from the use of this fuel was vital to the Apollo program. According to Garber (2002), this was an accurate assessment, as benefits were indeed gained from observing Centaur's use of these fuels."

Abstract
This paper describes the short presidential term served by John F. Kennedy. The paper is delivered in a setting of an audience that is a conservative political group that advocates smaller federal government and the right for local communities and states to control as much of their needed government as possible. The occasion is their annual meeting, and the purpose is to demonstrate that although Kennedy was a liberal in many ways, he was still a great, if flawed, man.
From the Paper
"John F. Kennedy: the very name makes political conservatives cringe. However, his short role in the political history of the Presidency was so pivotal that is necessary to consider what kind of President he really was beyond the hype and the active public relations campaign that kept his many flaws out of the news media. Because the media remained silent about his personal flaws, the country was able to nearly canonize him after his untimely death."
