JOH FITZGERALD KENNEDY John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born 29 May 1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts, the son of prominent businessman Joseph P. Kennedy, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain for four years. John F. Kennedy acted as his father's secretary in London in 1938 and graduated from Harvard in 1940. He commanded a Navy PT-boat in the Pacific during World War II. In action off the Solomons, his boat was sunk by an enemy destroyer and Kennedy was credited with heroism in saving his crew. His political career began in 1946 when he was elected to Congress as a Democrat from Massachusetts and continued with his re-election in 1948 and 1950. In 1952, Kennedy was elected to the U.S. Senate. In 1954-55, he underwent operations on a spinal injury suffered during the war. Away from the Senate Kennedy wrote Profiles in Courage , for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. In 1958 he was re-elected to the Senate. At the Democratic National Convention in 1960, Kennedy received the presidential nomination. Kennedy won the election and, at 43, became the youngest man ever elected to the White House and the nation's first Roman Catholic President. President Kennedy's administration, called the New Frontier , pressed for federal aid to education, expansions of civil rights, aid to economically depressed areas, senior citizen medical care and accelerating the space program. In foreign affairs, his principal accomplishments included establishing the Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress with Latin America and the nuclear test ban treaty.
