He was the youngest candidate and first Roman Catholic to be elected President.

His Inaugural Address offered the memorable injunction: "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." As President, he set out to redeem his campaign pledge to get America moving again. His economic programs launched the country on its longest sustained expansion since World War II.

Kennedy launched an unsuccessful attempt to invade Cuba; later he confronted the Russians in the Cuban missiles crisis; signed a nuclear test ban treaty; and directed the US space agency to launch a manned flight to the moon within ten years.

To the shock of the nation he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
