It's been fifty years since JFKs assassination and nearly twenty since Ronald Reagan disappeared from public life. While they never ran headtohead, they developed their legacies in competing ways and those legacies battle each other even today. The story of one illuminates the other, and explains our expectations for the presidency and whom we elect. Even though one is the model Democrat and the other the model Republican, their appeal is now bipartisan. Republicans quote Kennedy to justify tax cuts or aggressive national defense; Democrats use Reagans pragmatism to shame Republicans into supporting tax increases and compromise.Partly a "comparative biography" that explores John F. Kennedys and Ronald Reagans contemporaneous lives from birth until 1960, Scott Farris's followup to his widely praised Almost President shows how the experiences, attitudes, and skills developed by each man later impacted his presidency. Farris also tackles the key issuescivil rights, foreign affairs, etc.that impacted each mans time in office. How did previous life experiences form their views on these issues, and how do their dealings around each issue compare and contrast? Bookended by an examination of their standing in public opinion and how that has influenced subsequent politicians, plus an exploration of how the assassination of Kennedy and attempted assassination of Reagan colored our memories, this book also shows how aides, friends and families of each man have burnished their reputations long after their presidencies ended.
