Kennedy's Inauguration photography-url as captured by veteran TimesJohn F. Kennedy, the youngest man and the first Catholic ever elected U. S. president, delivers his inaugural address in the nation's capital on January 20, 1961. Kennedy, 43, had defeated Vice President Richard Nixon in one of the closest of national elections in history.
