I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LOCJFK_170404_009.JPG: Arresting images of John F. Kennedy show him in both illness and televised grandeur. The diary of Daniel Patrick Moynihan captures the intensity of grief on the day of John F. Kennedy's assassination. The bumper stick conveys a sense of what might have been.
2. LOCJFK_170404_014.JPG: John F. Kennedy leaving on gurney from hospital following spinal surgery, as his wife Jacqueline stands over him, December 21, 1954.
3. LOCJFK_170404_016.JPG: John F. Kennedy Manuscripts Shown here is a letter from John F. Kennedy to Clark Clifford, advisor to four Democratic presidents, and a letter from Jacqueline Kennedy to longtime friend and journalist, Joseph Alsop, with thoughts on the nature of grief in the aftermath of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination.
4. LOCJFK_170404_019.JPG: The Presidential Election of 1960 On display are artifacts from the contentious 1960 presidential election. Items include pamphlets attacking Kennedy for his Catholicism, campaign buttons, and a souvenir cigarette case.
5. LOCJFK_170404_027.JPG: The Presidential Inauguration Shown here is Kennedy's transcript of his inaugural address and a photograph of him delivering the speech on January 20, 1961. The address outlined a bold program of activism and inspired a generation to give back to their country.

7. LOCJFK_170404_066.JPG: Life and Legacy Kennedy has been the subject of extensive biographies, such as the Georgian and Hindi titles on display. Many biographies, including the Turkish volume in this display case, also explore conspiracy theories about Kennedy's assassination, a topic of abiding fascination.
8. LOCJFK_170404_067.JPG: Historic Events: Several titles about President Kennedy focus on specific events from his presidency, such as his historic visit to Berlin in 1963 and his two-day summit with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in 1961.
9. LOCJFK_170404_069.JPG: A Glimpse of Camelot: During his administration and particularly after his assassination, the details of the life of John F.

Kennedy as a man, as a husband and a father, and as a statesman.
10. LOCJFK_170404_091.JPG: More Than A Politician: John F. Kennedy wrote about more than politics. America the Beautiful is a collection of Kennedy's writings about the land, art, and people of the United States. He also edited a privately-printed tribute to his brother Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., a naval pilot who was killed in action in World War II as the age of 29.
11. LOCJFK_170404_096.JPG: John F. Kennedy's Writings Published materials written by John F.
