Eisenhower and Kennedy were very different men.

Kennedy, a forty-three-year-old Democrat, had captured the nation's attention with his energy and youth, but was inexperienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEisenhower believed he had hard-won knowledge to pass on to his successor, but he didn't know if Kennedy would listen.
