Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Pierre Salinger, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Adlai E. Stevenson, and others." Derived from a Kirkus review: The love of family and friends and intimate associates informs a volume about JFK in such a manner that this is the way we too will remember him. It is presented with high competence and style and portrays JFK from childhood on. The last day at Dallas is not shown; Tom Wicker's report covers it. President Johnson's words preface the volume, James MacGregor Burns' close it. Between come the testimonials of many others, articles on major events, issues, crises, family reminiscence, and JFK's own words to form a living biography. The photographs reveal him unforgettably, in stress and repose, trial and triumph. The quality here rises to that of the man.
