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

On several occasions President Kennedy encouraged me to take a lover, an obvious sign he also had some himself.

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 am not very introspective.

A funny thing happened on the way to the election - I got to the Senate first.

A lot of people criticize the primaries, but I think they are absolutely essential to the education of the President of the United States.

I may be plucky, but I am not stupid.
