Kennedy at 43 became the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic to hold that office. He was born into one of America's wealthiest families. As president, Kennedy confronted mounting Cold War tensions in Cuba, Vietnam and elsewhere. He also led a renewed drive for public service and eventually provided federal support for the growing civil rights movement.
