Jim, have you seen Oliver Stone's 'Untold History' series? I bought it on DVD, and found the JFK segment to be pretty good, though not perfect. He does embrace the JFK-started-out-as-a-Cold-Warrior idea, and makes a fairly good case for it in some areas (I didn't realize the use of toxic herbicides in Vietnam began under Kennedy).
I think that on the Cold War spectrum (Curtis LeMay/Allen Dulles = 10, Henry Wallace/Adlai Stevenson = 1), JFK began his Presidency at around 4 or 5, and when he was killed he was a 2 or 3.
