I wrote "positive or at least neutral". And "Saint Kennedy" was, to me (and I lived through his administration as an American, in the States) not anything close to what Europeans of the time may have thought. It was HE, and nobody else, who started the American incursion in Vietnam - and he, and nobody else, who supported and aided the "bay of pigs" invasion of Cuba.
Don't believe for a minute that Kennedy was a saint. He was only lucky to be killed before the bad things about him came to light. A rich boy with a crooked father who effectively bought him the presidency.
I was pleased when "Cape Kennedy" reverted to "Cape Canaveral". The half dollars were bad enough. At least FDR deswerved to be put on the dime.
