As much as I liked and admired the various members of the Kennedy family, my first loyalty was to Jackie.

The things that stand out are often the oddities.

I may be plucky, but I am not stupid.

The death of JFK to the resignation of Richard Nixon marked a great turning point in American life.

He's the president of the United States. He's got to work 14 to 16 hours a day, run foreign and domestic policy. If he's got time for mistresses after all that, what the hell difference does it make?

I had been in so many towns and cities in America with John Kennedy, but I was not with him in Dallas, Texas, on November 21, 1963.

Believe me, as one who has seen a number of international crises firsthand, they cannot be handled without an understanding of history.
