‘Sleepless in Seattle’ Director Nora Ephron Shamefully Mocks Foiled JFK Terror Plot Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 6, 2007 - 10:04.The reader is warned to proceed with caution, for the piece of…"journalism" to be addressed here is truly one of the most vile and disgraceful examples of Bush Derangement Syndrome I’ve seen.In fact, it is so much so that I will not copy one single sentence of this detritus beyond the headline which appeared at the Huffington Post early Monday morning, and is still prominently featured there 58 hours later, which tells us a lot about the proprietor...

To the Editor: As I sit at my computer composing this letter, tears are streaming down my face. "After the Love Is Gone," by Nora Ephron (Op-Ed, Sept. 29), her essay about Bill Clinton, struck a note. How right she is, and how often I have mirrored her thoughts over the past couple of years.

Meanwhile: The White House intern with the permanent wave Nora Ephron NYT Tuesday, May 20, 2003 NEW YORK I too was an intern in the JFK White House. I was. This is not one of those humor pieces where the writer pretends to some experience related to the news to make an "amusing" point. It was 1961, and I was hired by Pierre Salinger to work in the White House press office, the very same place where Mimi Beardsley, later Fahnestock, was to work the next year. And now that Mimi Fahnestock has been forced to come forward to admit...

And now that Mimi Fahnestock has been forced to come forward to admit that she had an affair with Kennedy, I might as well tell my story. I notice...
