A supporter in Mount Clemens, Michigan, looks ready to back into the future with the Democratic ticket in an unpublished Paul Schutzer photograph from late October. One of a team of LIFE staffers who chronicled JFK's 1960 campaign -- including the photographers in this LIFE.com gallery: Hank Walker, Walter Sanders, Robert Kelley, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Stan Wayman, and George Silk -- Schutzer was 26 when he joined LIFE magazine. A fearless photojournalist who took some of the most powerful and immediate photos to emerge from the war in Vietnam, the Civil Rights era, and from Kennedy's "Camelot" White House, Schutzer was killed on the first day of the Middle East's Six-Day War in 1967. He was 37.
