 About Kennedy 關(guān)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,肯尼迪向全體美國人發(fā)表了堪稱經(jīng)典的總統(tǒng)就職演說:"不要問你們的國家能給予你們什么,問一問你能為你的國家做些什么。"他還希望全世界各個國家聯(lián)合起來對付他所稱的"人類共同敵人......暴政、貧窮、疾病與戰(zhàn)爭本身。"肯尼迪的水星相位非常好,不僅與火木合象,而且刑天王星、拱月亮,他的口才自然是一流,而且即興演講能力也是非常的高,他的這段救治演說到現(xiàn)在仍是一句激動人心的名言。
     然而,似乎肯尼迪家族總有著逃不開的厄運(yùn),在1963年11月22日,當(dāng)肯尼迪總統(tǒng)乘坐的林肯牌豪華敞篷汽車沿達(dá)拉斯市街道緩緩行進(jìn)到埃爾姆街拐彎處時,他忽然被人開槍擊中,一頭扎倒在身邊的杰奎琳懷中,這就是令人震驚的肯尼迪被刺事件,這件事到現(xiàn)在還是一個眾說紛紜的謎。雖然肯尼迪總統(tǒng)從1960年開始當(dāng)總統(tǒng)到1963年去世只有短短三年時間,但不少美國人仍然認(rèn)為肯尼迪總統(tǒng)是他們最偉大的總統(tǒng)之一。
