DBWI: Nixon lost the 1960 election

We all know that Nixon was a great president, particularly his handling of Indochina and Cuba, but few barely note the very close race between him and a senator from massachussets John F Kennedy.

What if JFK Won?
 
I think it would have been a horrible world. Yes we might have beat Soviets to the moon but we'd probably have Cuba still be a Communist dictatorship with Castro still in power instead of rotting in Guantanamo Bay. We might even have lost in Vietnam and instead of being one of the "Asian Tigers" along with Japan, Korea, and Malaysia be a Communist state.
