JFK's 1960 "Strategy of Peace": just wow

2. I heard a radio program, yesterday, discussing the latest book about JFK's father. Seems like the

old man was for two main things: avoidance of wars at any cost (didn't want the US to get involved in WWII. Regarded it as the beginning of perpetual war for the US) and Public Service. Supposedly he told his children that he was making money so that they would not have to work but would be able to devote their lives to public service and helping those less fortunate than themselves. Haven't located a link to the program yet but the author claims extensive research including live interviews with family, friends, and enemies. Thus it doesn't surprise me that JFK might have felt this way about Vietnam or that the Kennedy clan was so deeply involved in public and social services.
