Today marks the 40th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's innaugural address. A 14-minute long ode to American exceptionalism and the power of idealistic individualism.Robert Frost composed a poem, 'Dedication', for the event. Unable to read the poem in the blinding sunlight, the 86-year old Frost recited from memory a passage from an earlier work, 'The Gift Outright'.
Elsewhere - the JFK Library has uploaded a staggeringly comprehensive collection of photographs of the 35th President of our United States.
