On September 17, 1960, Sen. John F. Kennedy, the Democratic nominee for president, flew to Greenville for a campaign rally on the campus of East Carolina College. Kennedy’s ECC rally was part of a marathon daylong blitz that continued statewide through Greensboro and Charlotte. The campaign intended to go as far west as Asheville but due to inclement weather concluded with dinner at the governor’s mansion in Raleigh and a rally at Reynolds Coliseum. With photographs as key primary sources, John F. Kennedy’s North Carolina Campaign explores what happened that day, why it happened, and its significance in North Carolina’s political history. While the book focuses on the East Carolina College rally, which was the first of the day, Kennedy’s subsequent rallies ultimately bore statewide and national significance, making it impossible to examine only one stop without contextualizing it in relation to the remainder.

THE FINEST IN THE INDUSTRY
ENTER de GAULLE! WITH FULL AUTHORITY
France in the 169 years since the storming of the Bastille, has been twice an empire. Thrice under Kingdom rule. Once a Nazi-supported dictatorship. Four times a Republic. A new and fateful turning has finally come to France. Her Fourth Republic, a sorry chronicle of confusion and dissension is starting on a new course under the leadership of aloof, inscrutable, mystical General Charles de Gaulle. The General confronts an awesome array of problems that beset the French nation. The world looks hopefully to the war-time hero to open the door to a new France.
UNKNOWN SOLDIERS ENSHRINED:
Solemn ceremonies in the nation's Capitol mark the entombment of the Unknown Soldiers of World War II and of the Korean heartbreak - in Arlington National Cemetery. President Eisenhower confers the Medal of Honor, America's highest award for valor, on each of the soldiers, highlighting the Memorial Day observance.

CASTRO "RESIGNS" IN SHOW OF STRENGTH
A flamboyant show of strength by Fidel Castro, whose "resignation" as Premier has Havana throngs demonstrating in fervent appeal to the Revolution's leader. One result, the removal of Castro's hand picked President, Urrutia, now out of favor with the leader. In an emotional four hour broadcast, Castro shows he is still Cuba's "maximum leader".

PAMPLONA FESTIVAL:
The famous "running of the bulls" through the streets of Pamplona in the traditional prelude to the City's classic bull-fight fiesta. It's every man a matador for a day as the brave bulls thunder through the streets and into the arena.

UNIVERSAL-INTERNATIONAL Presents CORONATION OF ELIZABETH II
The greatest pageant of the twentieth century unfolds before London and the world, as Elizabeth, Britain's winsome young queen is crowned amid and splendor evolved over a thousand years.
WHOLE WORLD REPRESENTED
Not only from the far flung British Dominions, but every major power, ranking representatives are present to witness the event, while hundreds of thousands of visitors throng the capital to witness the glittering spectacle. Every foot of the coronation procession route is occupied by eager spectators.
HISTORIC CEREMONY
In the hush of Westminster Abbey's vastness peers and peeresses in scarlet ceremonial robes witness the supreme moment, when, after being annointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Queen has placed on her head the crown of St. Edward. She is then enthroned. All the pageantry originated since the day of William the Conqueror and the subsequent days of feudal chivalry enter into the ceremony.
A RADIANT QUEEN
The ritual over, Queen Elizabeth rides over a procession route that takes her through the ancient landmarks of London amid millions cheering themselves hoarse. Back at Buckingham palace she appears on the balcony with her family--the symbol of new hope for austerity-ridden Britain.
