Extracts in the US media of Once Upon A Secret by Mimi Alford recount the affair she had with the president whilst an intern at the White House.
She also relates Mr Kennedy's thoughts on the Cuban missile crisis and the death of his baby son.
The previewed parts of the book contain graphic details of the president's milieu, including tales of drug use.
Excerpts published in the New York Post also describe how Ms Alford - then 19-year-old Mimi Beardsley - lost her virginity to the president in 1962, after she had been invited to swim at the White House pool.
The affair went on to last 18 months.
The relationship apparently continued even after Ms Alford left Washington, and she claims to have slept with Mr Kennedy just days before he was assassinated.

I suppose the totally unrelated photo has a certain humor to it but I can't take credit for the choice. I suspect some of my ad and cookie blocking programs are playing havoc with trying to upload the more appropriate image of choice to Current articles I'm posting.

That's why I was wondering why it was in comedy.

I think it does fit within the bounds of the human comedy, Truth. After all, no one was killed and she's writing a book about it.
But, if I've offended your more delicate sensibilities, my apologies.
It didn't seem to fit most of the other categories and I did think for the historic insight value, it was of passing interest. - 4 months ago

I am not offended in the least, I was just wondering about the comedic angle. I loved studying JFK in university and read the article this morning. I am still very interested.

He was a very interesting and vital man.
As the Irish say: "We won't see his like again."
Our political scene has changed so much. I've heard it said neither Lincoln or FDR would ever have a chance of being elected today. I'm sure that goes triple for Jack.
I just read Chris Matthews biography of him. Quiet a good read if you have the chance. - 4 months ago

Thanks for the tip. I recently reread Kenny O'Donnell's Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye. Classic.
