JFK's spiritual evolution is most certainly on display in the American University speech. There is no need to look elsewhere. And there is most assuredly no need to search for that which is simply not present.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
