"Assure the survival and the success of liberty"

Fifty years ago Thursday, President John F. Kennedy told the world that "the torch had been passed to a new generation of Americans" whom he challenged to "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

Caroline Kennedy told The Associated Press that she has been thinking over her father's oft-quoted inaugural speech on Jan 20, 1961, when he proclaimed that Americans "shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

I doubt that Caroline was "thinking over her father's oft-quoted inaugural speech" in which "he proclaimed that Americans shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty" while her and her cousins successfully lobbied all the television networks to censor the new miniseries about the Kennedys. Stifling free political debate was hardly a tribute to her father's speech.
