First sentence: Aware that this words would be viewed skeptically by those in Congress and the country who thought him too inexperienced for the post, concerned by the speech only a short time earlier of Soviet Chairman Nikita Khrushchev that sounded like a call for a worldwide Communist revolution, John F.
