Kudos to TIME for naming the New Frontiersman as Man of the Year. His prodigious, close-knit family from Caroline to Joe, his self-confidence, his ailing back, his Peace Corps, the Honcyfitz, Hyannisport, his struggle with the Syth Congress, and his many vigorous bouts with his alliterative foe in the Kremlin have dominated the 1961 news...

Beyond that, he was unfazed: "Sometimes a little emphasis to accentuate the positive is helpful. I feel very happy."
