Kennedy was significantly different than Eisenhower before him, and different from Johnson after him.

I may have disparaged the idea that people are looking at films on smaller and smaller screens... it's a shame that people have to watch DVDs with the lights on in a television-type situation where people are wandering in and out of the room.
