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

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.

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

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

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