As the anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s untimely death approaches, we thought it’d be interesting to compile some photos of Kennedy during his campaign in New York, before his much-publicized presidency. As the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, were the subject of intense media coverage. The public’s fascination with everything related to the Kennedys manifested itself in the many television specials, photos, and literature that appeared during the presidency and especially after, when Jacqueline Kennedy moved into a New York apartment and was doggedly followed by infamous paparazzo Ron Gallela.
