Kennedy Paperback ,  1965 A Celebration of Presidential Wit This delightful and evocative volume captures the warm good humor and hair-trigger wit of John F. Kennedy through hundreds of publicly uttered quips and comments. Quotations drawn from President Kennedy's childhood and his youthful days in college and the Navy through his early political career and on to the Senate and the White House make for entertaining reading. When a boy asked him how he became a war hero he responded: ”It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat.” On the problems left behind by other Presidents: ”I had plenty of problems when I came in, but wait until the fellow that follows me sees what he will inherit.” Of a photo of his newest nephew: ”He looks like a fine baby-we'll know more later.” The Kennedy Wit is a rich and memorable tribute to one of America's best-loved Presidents. It will be enjoyed by all those who remember him fondly and by a new generation that will discover his dear-sighted irony and quick repartee in these pages.
