Whatever my party affiliation, I will continue to be guided by President Kennedy's statement that sometimes party asks too much.

To those who don't want the truth about Kennedy's assassination to become known, the very repetition of a charge lends it a certain credibility, since people have a tendency to believe that where there's smoke, there's fire.

The Kennedy lifestyle is something that is looked upon favorably by the elites throughout our culture, both political and social.

When Kennedy said, 'Let's go to the moon,' we didn't yet have a vehicle that wouldn't kill you on launch. He said we'll land a man on the moon in eight years and bring him back. That was an audacious goal to put forth in front of the American people.

We wanted to be certain they didn't have a bigger deficit, and Kennedy agreed with me.

Ted Kennedy is the only person alive who might know more than we do about Chappaquiddick, and he may not.

On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself.

For style and for creating a mood of optimism and hope - Kennedy on that count is as effective as any president the country has had in its history.

I think the public can t accept the idea that someone as inconsequential as Oswald could have killed someone as consequential as Kennedy. They don t want to believe the world is that chaotic. It is.

To be sure, Kennedy did not discount the importance of words in rallying the nation to meet its foreign and domestic challenges. Winston Churchill's powerful exhortations during World War II set a standard he had long admired. Kennedy was hardly unmindful of how important a great inaugural address could be.
