Earliest recording of JFK uncovered

[Still Waters]

What did John F. Kennedy sound like as a 20-year-old? Well, now we know. Archivists from Harvard University have just released a new audio file of the future president delivering a speech in 1937, which they say is the oldest ever uncovered.

Strange. The youngest person today with any memory of JFK is around sixty years old; Eisenhower (before) and Johnson (after) both had more lasting effects, good or bad, on America than Kennedy, but the cult continues.

That's a pretty good find.
