...repudiated the Eisenhower era. Early in 1961, Ike, at 70, the oldest President in history, rode with Kennedy, the youngest elected President, down Pennsylvania Avenue. "The vitality of the man!" exclaimed J.F.K. his first night in office. "It stood out so strongly there at the Inauguration. There was Chris Herter, looking old and ashen.
