Next on booktv, john shaw recounts john f. Kennedys tenure in the u. S. Senate serving in the 19531960 where he engaged in the debates of the day and developed the political acumen that served him during his presidency. This is about an hour and 15 minutes. [applause] my, its great to be around this table once again today, because weve had some wonderful breakfasts with ambassadors from all over the world. I think in due course we will have a chance to visit with all of them. The conversations go beyond breakfast, they continue on until everything going on in the world and how, in fact, diplomacy might better interact with our congress, with our administration, with others in washington, our leadership. Im excited about this idea, and, of course, it really follows through with work that my fr
Predetermined pass rather than any success in the senate. Would you agree with that opinion . In the success and not much for the election but it was part of the ad that he was going through the final rule. I do think the senate changed him and transformed him and i do think he developed expertise in areas he had not before and he did a kind of a deep dive on some complicated issues so it was like an advanced graduate school from kennedy and i think that he did use his senate years to learn more and he kind of form a political identity in which he presented himself as both a modern male politician, the young guest candidate but also someone who was very familiar with the American History and understood its traditions and was very steep in American History.

Thank you very much. Its a pleasure to be back at politics and prose, one of my favorite bookstores anywhere, not just in washington, d. C. Id like to ask you, who here has seen the portrait of kennedy in the National Portrait gallery in the halls of kennedy . Thats great. You know its quite unlike any of the other portraits. It was painted by the estranged wife of the story behind how the portrait happened to be there i think is a kind of interesting one and, in fact, i opened my book with it. Id like to share it with you just briefly. She was supposed to paint one portrait for the Truman Library in independence, missouri, and she was chosen because everybody knew that john f.
