AFTER 20 YEARS KENNEDY BAND TENDS LEGACY
The fervid band of people who served John Fitzgerald Kennedy is scattered and diverse now. Some have grown old, others conservative or conventional in the 20 years since the Kennedy Presidency was ended by an assassins bullet in Dallas. But they are in agreement that his legacy is indelible, whether it is no more than a myth embedded in the national conscience or is based on tangible accomplishments such as space exploration or the Peace Corps. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt, he inspired an idealism about the kind of government we should have, and he wanted to harness that, said Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., the historian and Kennedy aide who has been trying to hold back a tide of negative revisionism about the Kennedy era. Harnessing idealism, Mr. Schlesinger said in a telephone interview, is what America is all about.
