Para defender a sua pureza, São Francisco rebolou-se na neve, São Bento atirou-se a um silvado, São Bernardo lançou-se num tanque gelado... - Tu, que fizeste?
Fifty years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, The Atlantic has resurfaced some of its best journalism about the 35th president and his legacy in a new collection: JFK In His Time and Ours. Although Kennedy was in office for barely more than a thousand days, his presidency and his presence on the world stage had a huge historical impact. Much of that was captured in photographs of the time, following the handsome son of a wealthy businessman from childhood to the most powerful office in the world, until it all ended in tragedy in Dallas.
