"Kennedy poses with families around a kitchen table, introductions are made, etc."
"In Newport, Kentucky, Kennedy sits at a dining table with Mrs. Stiles, Mrs. Shay, and Mrs. Wagner, each of whom lost a son to war. The crew sets up, Kennedy confirms the women's names and hometowns, and asks the director how they should start. To begin the political spot itself, Kennedy introduces himself, then the three women, explaining that each lost a son to war. Each woman speaks briefly about her son's military service and death. Kennedy states his own brother died in service, and that peace is a central concern of the 1960s. Khrushchev is unstable and the Chinese Communists have dedicated themselves to destruction of the U.S., believing that war is the way to communize the world. The best way to maintain peace is to be strong and to make sure that lines of commitment are clearly drawn and known. He cites examples of Hitler and North Korea. He looks with some optimism at the chances of maintaining peace in the sixties. If elected, he will devote all his energies to that. "We've had enough war." The women concur; Mrs. Stiles says she has three grown grandsons and wouldn't want anything to happen to them. Kennedy is hopeful that if the U.S. can keep its strength and nerves and persevere, the country can remain at peace. "Senator John Kennedy with words to remember on election day. A man who knows the suffering of war but is dedicated to peace ... For new American leadership in the sixties, vote for John F. Kennedy for president"--Voice over."

"In Newport, Kentucky, Mrs. Stiles, Mrs. Shay, and Mrs. Wagner, each of whom lost a son to war, are seated at a dining table, awaiting Senator Kennedy's arrival. They arrange the table, have coffee poured, note the arrival of a charter bus, and that "the kids are all out there screaming" (with enthusiasm at Kennedy's appearance out front). They rise to greet Kennedy when he enters the room. Introductions are made all around; Kennedy combs his hair. The Gold Star mothers discuss with Kennedy their sons' military service and death. The director instructs Kennedy on how to proceed, the subject matter to be discussed, the length of the spot, how to sustain the discussion for that length of time, etc. Kennedy confirms names and hometowns.
