Right, that's what I noticed. Richard Nixon was certainly influential, though most would say he influenced in a bad way. However, I admire him as a politician.

I believe this is an effort to minimize the name of JFK from most of our children and grand-children's text books.

But kennedy wasn't all that influential.
Johnson signed more civil rights acts than he did. And while kennedy did escalate vietnam, he didn't even get us into it, indeed, his foreign policy was really just in keeping with the Truman Doctrine.

Kennedy wasn't in office long enough to be very influential.. My mom and dad used to swoon about how great Kennedy was. He might have become a great president, but he wasn't there yet. The guy was only in there for two years!! Presidents don't even have their cabinet fully formed in that time span.
