PRINT PHOTOGRAPH JOHN KENNEDY

At 7:30 a.m., humming Nat King Cole, Thomas lays the four national dailies on the bed, followed by a breakfast of two hard-boiled eggs, whole-wheat toast, bacon, fresh-squeezed orange juice and a bowl of very sweet coffee creamer. John's first words have been the same for thirteen years: " Hello George! How is the family? ".

The valet runs him a hot bath to ease his back pain. Caroline and John Jr. come in laughing and join their father in the bathroom. Kenny O'Donnell follows closely behind them and introduces John to his appointments. The special advisor is never shy about gobbling up the bacon bits left on the tray.
