John Kennedy actually said...

"But it is an unfortunate fact that we can pursue peace only by remaining strong"

"I think we'd all be better off"

"It is paradoxical and it is tragic that at such a time our aircraft plants are operating at less than full capacity"

"We hold the view that while this is a great country, we can do better; while this is a great State, we can do better; while this is a powerful country, it can be stronger."
