John F. Kennedy did not like losing. He was a cold warrior. He never lost a political election in his life. He won Congress in 1946, ’48, ’50. He won in the Senate in 1952 and ’58, and he won the presidency in ’60. In one story, when he’s playing chess with an aide of his, Kennedy is about to get checkmated and he knocks the whole table over and says, “I guess we’ll never know who won.”
