John F. KennedyI dont think that unless a greater effort is made by the Government to win popular support that the war can be won out there. In the final analysis, it is their war. They are the ones who have to win it or lose it.

John F. KennedyThe Republican nominee-to-be, of course, is also a young man. But his approach is as old as McKinley. His party is the party of the past.

Their pledge is a pledge to the status quo-and today there can be no status quo.
