THE TORONTO STAR:
Among the performing arts, J ohn F. Kennedy liked cinema the best. He enjoyed seeing movies, and talking about them. ~
‘He also had an informed interest in film as a medium . of communication and art form. He admired the work of Alfred Hitchcock and Howard Hawks, and startled and delighted the correspondent of a French magazine by discussing with him the relative merits of “nouvelle vague” directors Francois Truffault (of The 400 Blows and Jules and Jim) and Alain Resnais (of Last Year in Marienbad).
It is a shameful truism that, in English-language lands, whether repute or monarchial, the arts (literary, visual, performing) have received dismal shrift from chiefs of state. What'British sovereign or prime minister has exhibited even a cursory awareness of the cultural scene? The record of Canada’s leaders is despicable. Mr. Kennedy was not the first man of large intellectual calibre to become president of the U.S., but he was the first with the vision and sense of commitment to acknowledge that his duty extended to the promotion and fostering of his country’s artistic resources.

THE TORONTO TELEGRAM:
Under the Kennedy rule, showbiz gained a new legitimacy along with touch football.
This new vigor infected the thousands who came in contact with it, and the arts were better for it.
John Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, did more in the last and regretfully short years to add lustre and prestige to the arts than any White House occupant in U.S. history.
It was a robust and lusty interest in all the arts, so ‘contagious it would excite performer and invited guest alike.
