1961: Man of the Year
"Jack Kennedy — Man of the Year for 1961 — had passionately sought the presidency. The closeness of his victory did not disturb him; he took over the office with a youth-can-do-anything sort of self-confidence. He learned better; but learn he did. And in so doing he not only made 1961 the most endlessly interesting and exciting presidential year within recent memory; he also made the process of his growing up to be President a saving factor for the U.S. in the cold war."
From: A Way with the People, Jan. 05, 1962
