Ever since he died there have been people upset, just certain that JFK died just as he was about to do some splendid thing or other. The fact it, he was in office around 1,000 days, and all he did is blow our chance to free Cuba. I admire his restraint during the Missile Crisis. As it happened, restraint was the right reaction. But anyone can do *nothing*, so it didn't make him special. Johnson was more conservative (read: wiser) so actually in this respect the country was better off. And his death helped push the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into being. The Republicans would probably not have been able to push it through without the support of some Democrats who wished to honor JFKs' wishes. I hate to say it but I have to say that in terms of actual accomplishments he was likely to get done, alive, his death was not all that much detrimental.
