- Self - Narrator: The big handshake. The big rally. The wild race across the landscape - searching out voters. All repeated endlessly for days and weeks and months. These are the ordeal and the exhilaration of the US Presidential candidate. In the entire campaign, nothing is wilder than the battle of an important state primary - fought in every town and precinct. With the prospect that the candidate might be knocked out of the nomination if he loses. That even if he wins, his victory might count for nothing at the convention.
- John F. Kennedy: I have strong ideas on what this country must do. I have strong ideas about the United States - playing a great role in a historic moment. When the cause of freedom is endangered all over the world. When the United States stands as the only sentry at the gate. When we can see the campfires of the enemy burning on distant hills. That's what's at issue today. That's what we are attempting to determine in the coming months and years. All of us, as Americans, are going to be called out of the ranks. Our courage is going to be tested. And I am confident that we are going to give the same affirmative answer.
