JFK: TIME's Best Cover Stories
1957: Senator John F. Kennedy
"In his unannounced but unabashed run for the Democratic Party's nomination for President in 1960, Jack Kennedy has left panting politicians and swooning women across a large spread of the U.S. At 40, he is trim (6 feet and 160 lbs.) and boyishly handsome, with a trademark in the shock of unruly brown hair (now showing a few grey strands) that Wildroot only seems to make wilder. He belongs to a legendary family that surpasses its legend: the Kennedys of Massachusetts. He is an authentic war hero and a Pulitzer-prizewinning author (for his bestselling Profiles in Courage)."
