        Interesting watching outtakes of this interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_PItl4Bk7M … President Kennedy has a great presence about him. So smart.

        He was noncommittal about VN during the Cronkite interview around that time. Said it was up to SVN to win or lose but a mistake to pull out.

        Does that throw cold water on the theory that he would have gotten us out?

        JFK got sold a bad bill of goods by Dean Rusk and Bundy. The theory was wrong.

        Thing I like best about this photo is old timey TV camera. Don't think that started to change much until mid-late 70s.

        IMO JFK was waiting till he won the 1964 election to downscale US involvement. He probably would have left SF and an air campaign.

        A sad step towards the debacle to come. It was ahistorical lunacy apply the domino theory to Vietnam.
