Good to know. I was going to buy the book but the reviews are kind of the same as yours. I'll wait until the library has it.

So is Kick Kennedy dating Ben Affleck? RFK juniors daughter rather than the original ie JFKs sister lol
watched most of a Kennedy biopic on MAX last night. I think it may have originated on CNN. Interesting but I don't know if I believe everything they said as fact. They said that JFK was having an affair with Marilyn Monroe and that Jackie threatened to divorce him if he didn't cut it off. I don't think this was ever proven. they also said Joe Kennedy selected Jackie's bridal gown. I don't know if I believe that.
Edit - people says it's true about the gown...don't know if that means it's true

Those boys shared women without batting an eyes according to Calahan’s book.Disgusting. Hopefully not at the same time and hopefully she washed up in between.
Weirdos
I never understood why the Kennedy family was so revered . Of course the brothers assassinations were awful, there's no denying that. But with everything I've read about the family (I was born a couple of years after RFK was assassinated), they did not seem like good people. And never mind the killer (and harasser) who somehow still remained a senator for decades afterwards.
could be you don't understand partly because of your age. They were beloved by a lot of people - black people, Catholics, and lots of others. The press didn't really report on their personal lives. Jack Kennedy had a beautiful wife and small children, rare for the white house.
I didn't read that book but my impression was Jack was much more the "ladies man" than Bobby.
I agree…and remember, this all took place before the Internet. Everything was different…especially how information was distributed and shared…
Nora Ephron said in her book that she was an intern at the white house and Jack Kennedy was the most handsome man she had ever seen. Combine that with his position of power and his sexual appetite.
