PBS:JFK:American Experience
My wife and I have watched about half of this and it has to be the most informative documentaries on the Kennedy Administration I have ever seen. Secrets not told to us at the time(I was 13 when he was inaugurated and 15 when he was assassinated) are revealed in this that are really amazing. His youth was an important factor and all the pain killers and treatments he had to take for his permanent back pain so he could remain functional as president we didn't know about then. We later learned about JFK and Bobby and Marilyn Monroe. But there are many amazing facts if you actually lived through all this and were scared out of your minds like everyone was back then of everyone on earth dying in a nuclear holocaust from Soviet Russia and Cuba. So, we live now in time (even 9-11) that were about 10% as stressful as life was back then. People were a lot tougher in general then than now. They generally weren't as nice as now either. But, people were more survivors then than now and ready for more extreme situations than now in general.
