President Kennedy was a voracious reader and was forever coming up with fascinating bits of information.

American people simply will not countenance being lied to by their own President.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve. I was once described by my own son Stephen as an emotional ostrich.

Whole generations have forgotten history.

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

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 may be plucky, but I am not stupid.
