Usually, the point in which I differ from others is JFK, but I really do not believe that he holds up to the other 5, although there is lots of laudable stuff he did. However, I do suspect that if RFK would have gotten his rightful chance, I would have a list of six instead of 5 - but that may just be me being fancy with conterfactualism.
