My current goal for this blog is to share my love and respect for historical figures, heroes, and everyday folks. My interests also include film, social and political issues, and a dash of food here and there. I also post or reblog things that don't have to do with history. I make gifs, scan some photos, and post information from books I read. Please take a look around my archive before following. Thank you! pink pant(s)

Chemistry is a very difficult thing to isolate, and whatever vagaries must have been sometimes very painful for Jackie, JFK really adored her, and was proud of her, and I had the feeling in ‘63 that they were extremely close and affectionate, after the death of the baby. Kennedy called me to say that Jackie hadn’t heard anything from Adlai Stevenson, of whom she remained very fond. Kennedy asked me whether or not I might do something to encourage him to write. He had that kind of consideration about her.
