From the back cover: Paradoxes of John F. Kennedy
Although a Roman Catholic, he tenaciously clung to the unprecedented dream of presidency for a Catholic.
Despite bitter clerical criticism, his campaign pledge of no Federal aid to private or parochial schools was kept.
Although a Democrat, he supported a strong civil rights program, thereby incensing the Southern Democrats.
Although it militated against his sensibilities, he ultimately resorted to the use of Federal troops to implement the inherent right of negro students to enroll and receive education in southern colleges.
Although a multi-millionaire, he dared to block the steel industry from courting inflation by raising its prices
Although a peaceful man, he courageously flirted with death – for principles he believed in.
Also from the back cover: Barry Gray, our narrator, is an eminent journalist and broadcaster who is known for his humanitarian and critical examination of mankind's present problems. His pen and voice are committed to the cause of freedom and liberty. Drawing upon a deep reservoir of knowledge, experience and courage, Mr. Gray has championed causes – popular and unpopular – that he believed should be brought into the bright light of open scrutiny. We believe that our narrator is eminently qualified to represent the highlights of John F. Kennedy, man and President, in vie of their common dedication.
