Kennedy was responsible for the [[Bay of Pigs]] fiasco, encouraging the invasion but then pulling back support and even allowing advance notice of the invasion to leak to [[Fidel Castro]].  When a year later the [[Soviet Union]] was building a ballistic missile site in [[Cuba]] that could house nuclear missiles, Kennedy handled the ensuing [[Cuban Missile Crisis]] with the help of hawks in his administration whose conduct, such as putting bombers on alert status, posed a credible threat to Soviets and helped cause them to back down.

Kennedy authorized the de-segregation of federal housing and proposed the civil rights bill, passed after his assassination.  He created the [[Peace Corps]] and also pledged to put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s, a pledge that was later fulfilled after his death.

Kennedy was well-known for his staggering number of sexual indiscretions. Kennedy's thrist for coitus was so intense that he literally had an 18-year-old Air Force employee travel with him so he could have sex on command.   

Kennedy cut taxes and appointed [[Byron White]] to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], who consistently ruled with [[conservatives]] on social issues such as [[abortion]] and [[homosexuality]].
