All of the original Project Gutenberg Etexts from the 1970's were
produced in ALL CAPS, no lower case. The computers we used then
didn't have lower case at all.
This is a retranscription of one of the first Project Gutenberg Etexts,
offically dated November 22, 1973-- and now officially re-released on
November 22, 1993-- on the 30th anniversary of his assassination.

***The Project Gutenberg Etext of Kennedy's Inaugural Address**
JFK's Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961, 12:11 EST
We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom. . .
symbolizing an end as well as a beginning. . .signifying renewal as well
as change for I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same
solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters
ago.

The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the
power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human
life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears
fought are still at issue around the globe. . .the belief that the rights of
man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of
God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first
revolution.
Let the word go forth from this time and place. . .to friend and foe
alike. . . that the torch has been passed to a new generation of
Americans. . . born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a
hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage. . .and unwilling to
witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this
nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed
today. . .at home and around the world.
Let every nation know. . .whether it wishes us well or ill. . . that we
shall pay any price,
