Faced with bureaucratic inertia, the unalterable decisions of predecessors and the provocation of crisis by men beyond his control, he was learning that a President, in Woodrow Wilson's phrase, barely retains the liberty "to be as big a man as he can." But in the vigor he brought to the early days of his clerkship, in the power he applied to the problems at hand, John Kennedy was clearly reaching for stature...
