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

I lost two of the greatest men I've ever known to assassination - and a son to suicide.

Jackie Kennedy was magnificent in the days and weeks immediately following her husband's assassination. She was especially wonderful to me.

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

Whole generations have forgotten history.

I've had at least my share of tragedy, but I have had far more than my share of happiness.

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