Artifact Overview
Life magazine often featured exclusive photo-essays on John F. Kennedy's travels and political views. This Life magazine cover story contrasts the wave of affection shown for President Kennedy in Mexico (where he had honeymooned with Jacqueline back in 1953) with the challenges he was facing at home, particularly with Republicans who opposed his "New Frontier" ideas.
