And cats. Everywhere, cats. Pampered cats and emaciated cats. Purchased cats and stray cats, vaccinated cats and feral cats, live cats and dead cats. And cat hair. And opened cans of cat food....

But JFK also used it to sound out themes—such as education, national security, and world peace—for his run in 1964....
