The Kennedy Myth and American Politics.
Parmet, Herbert S.
History Teacher, v24 n1 p31-39 Nov 1990
Examines the John F. Kennedy legend and his ability as an image maker. Characterizes Kennedy's presidency in terms of pragmatic idealism. Says Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson closed out the New and Fair Deal reforms but left no social or economic transformation. Claims Kennedy's disavowal of ideological rigidity ended the power of the Democratic National Committee. (NL)
