USA. Washington DC. The Kennedy Team. 

Cornell Capa © International Center of Photography 

Key to the "Kennedy style" was the braintrust of young talent with which the president had surrounded himself. He drew his appointees from universities, governor's mansions, congress, from business, labor and farm circles, and from philanthropic organizations -- a transcript of American life. Most were young with the average age of 47. The youngest being Attorney General Robert Kennedy. It was a braintrust with three Phi Beta Kappa key holders in the cabinet and several professors as special advisors. It was also the first cabinet to include two Jews and one African-American.

The following portraits include 16 of the more usual appointees during the first 100 days of the Kennedy administration.
