A second book that tells the story of another JFK dalliance, with Mary Meyer, is more a mystery ('A Very Private Woman: The Life and Unresolved Murder of Presidential Mistress Mary Meyer,' by Nina Burkleigh). Mary Meyer, wife of CIA officer Cord Meyer, for awhile visited the White House on nights when Jackie was away. After the relationship cooled off, and about one year after JFK's assassination, she was murdered while jogging along the C&O Canal towpath. Mary - the "woman who knew too much" - had kept a diary. It was immediately turned over to the CIA and never saw the light of day. James Angleton was reported to have used bits of the diary to titillate newspaper reporters over martini's. One of them quoted Angleton as saying JFK had used LSD before making love to Mary - a story denied by Angleton's widow.

What can one say? How valid are these allusions and allegations in a climate where conspiracy theories abound? Readers will draw their own conclusions. Promiscuity, adultery, drugs, murder, political blackmail, political vulnerability, national security - if and when true, not a good mix.

This IS the Mary Meyer case.

don't forget, Nina Burleigh(who wrote A Very Private Woman) is also the dumb Dem bimbo who offered to blow Clinton to thank him for keeping abortion legal.

Mary was the sister of Ben Bradlee's first wife, who was in Japan at the time of the murder. I believe she was shot with one bullet to the head. After a frantic search her diary was found in her studio which was in a separate building from the house. All of these people dying strange deaths in the Kennedy and Clinton administrations.

An affair up until the time he was assassinated.....a baby eight months later.....and she's murdered in a few more months. The timing certainly doesn't rule anything out. Why would she need to be murdered ---the affair was obviously over after JFK was killed.
