He took the pictures of John-John marching with a toy gun and helmet and saluting-a salute that the three-year-old repeated a few days later as his slain father's body passed by him. Cecil also caught the marvelous sequence that weekend of President Kennedy sitting in the sun reading the paper as Caroline's inquisitive pony Macaroni began...
