Even in a 1990s advanced American history course, we glossed over the ‘60s at the end of the year, so my working knowledge of this powder keg remained lacking. In the last few years, I have worked to rectify that as I’ve read biographies about key figures as well as other micro-histories about the decade. One subject remained untouchable until now, and that is Camelot. The Kennedy family is like royalty to generations of Americans. At home, the 1960 election is the first one where my parents as adolescents had awareness of the political even
