but in a melancholy piece of white house planning, month before john f. kennedykennedy went to texas on that tragic day, they had already chosen the gifts they would give and their christmas cards had already been printed, but instead of another kennedy christmas, the duties of the presidency would fall to lyndon baines johnson, who had recently been sworn in as 36th president of the united states. taking over after the assassination of president kennedy. one month after the assassination, president johnson spoke at a memorial candlelight ceremony at the lincoln memorial honoring jfk. >> 30 days and a few hours ago, john fitzgerald kennedy, 35th president of the united states, died a martyr's death. the world will not forget what he did here. he will live on in our hearts, which will be his shrine. >> later that same day, johnson lit the national christmas tree. it was a moment of tradition and a moment of sadness all in one presidential day. lbj's daughter, lucy johnson. >> it was a time where the nation was consumed with grief of losing a vital and vibrant, ver

story and almost exactly the stories were coming out, and new yorker did an excellent story and john f. kennedy had a press conference and said, miss, not really looking at ms. carson's research, and indeed they found out that these insecticides that were developed and multiplied during world war ii were certais connecting it to the humans.

the later president is john f. kennedy 1963 as he's sizing up the potential republican nominees for president in 1964, he talked about barry goldwater whose name was being mentioned significantly, he talked about nelson rockefeller. he thought about rockefeller, and he thought that -- he couldn't really understand what rockefeller was doing. about a year earlier, rockefeller had left his wife to marry a much younger woman, a woman who it was said in the press who he stole from her husband, there were young children involved. but rockefeller seemingly sacrificed everything to be with the woman he love. really he probably fore stalled any chance he had of winning the republican nomination in 1964 because of the scandal that ensued because he was marrying the woman he loved. so kennedy was thinking about this, and he declared that no man would ever love love more than politics. i think john tyler probably would have understood exactly the sentiment that john f. kennedy mentioned at that time. i appreciate your attention told.
