The Politician: In Washington, D.C., the new junior Senator from Massachusetts. During the
successful campaign, run by his brother Bobby, Jack shook 750,000 hands.
On election night, Kennedy supporters sweated as the first disappointing
election returns came in and it wasn't until 5 a.m. the next morning
when they knew Jack had pulled off the upset.
