Future Pres. Kennedy talks faith on Face the Nation
Presidential candidate John F. Kennedy insists there is no conflict between his faith and running for president, saying the "constitution and my conscience happen to be in very close harmony" on the October 30, 1960 edition of Face the Nation. Kennedy would win the election in November. (CBS NEWS)

BLAZE STARR - - The celebrated stripper told People magazine in 1989 that she had a brief affair with Kennedy before he became President which she’d hoped to continue once he was elected. The famed burlesque dancer is said to have been disappointed when the Cuban Missile Crisis got in the way of her dalliance with the President in the Lincoln Room. The pair first met in 1954 when JFK, then a Congressman, would visit her Maryland strip club, Crossroads. In an interview in 1989, Starr described Kennedy as “very quick and very wild,” adding “he knew exactly what he was doing with girls, so it didn’t take him long. No, that bad back didn’t faze him.”
How smooth he was on Television, no wonder the press loved him!!!!

@@maxinefreeman8858 Its not at all certain RFK would have been president if he'd lived, since he faced an uphill battle against the establishment-backed Hubert Humphrey (who was well ahead in delegates) at the 1968 Democratic convention, and the embittered Gene McCarthy would never have thrown his delegates to Bobby to put him over the top. However, if he had somehow managed to capture the nomination, I have little doubt he would have beaten Nixon handily in the general election, as he would have picked up much of the Wallace vote. But to state that RFK had it virtually wrapped up until a bullet felled him in the Ambassador Hotel is sheer mythology, just like all the fantasies surrounding Camelot.
He handled himself brilliantly with this panel.
He had his share of human failings..like us all...but seemed to be a brighter light for the future of this country and the world...he showed great restraint in the October Crisis over the missles in Cuba and diplomatically avoided a nuclear confrontation...Kruschev also displayed great leadership on the other side....it was a give and take on both sides,and this world is still intact....Thank you,God.

I agree that both JFK and Khrushchev showed great statesmanship. BTW, some historians think that Khrushchev ultimately was deposed shortly after the crisis in 1964 because he looked weak to the Soviet military. When you read how the US generals (and the Soviets) were chomping at the bit to go to war, which would have very likely resulted in full scale nuclear Armageddon, it's amazing how JFK stood his ground and I hate to think what Nixon would have done in that situation. But even more so, the biggest hero IMO is the Soviet commander of a nuclear submarine. This is a little known story documented in Daniel Ellsberg's fascinating book: The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. During the blockade a US destroyer accidentally dropped depth charges on a Soviet sub. The destroyer thought they were using training depth charges that would scare off the sub but do no damage but they accidentally used real depth charges and the sub was at real risk of sinking. The captain of the sub had clear orders that in such a situation where he was at risk of losing his boat he was to use tactical nuclear weapons in response. He chose to disobey doctrine in spite of the political officer threatening him that he must retaliate. If that Captain hadn't listened to his conscience and common sense a full scale nuclear war could have easily broken out. It shows that there can be good men even in the most evil organizations.

The CIA was a government within a government. The upper echelons of the Government in that day were warmongering and aggressive.

But I don't see a lot of Israeli traitors like we do American traitors. LBJ, Hoover, Angleton, David Phillips, and Howard Hunt, were traitors to the American Repiblic they had sworn allegiance to and some worked with the Mossad and/or organized crime.

Priscilla Wear Jackie Kennedy was also aware of her husband's alleged affair with White House Staff member Priscilla Wear. According to Kennedy press aide Barbara Gamarekian, Jackie stated, “This is the girl that’s sleeping with my husband” while speaking in French to a Paris-Match reporter. The White House secretary was nicknamed “Fiddle," which she was referred to as when her alleged affair is discussed. Speculation of her involvement with JFK has been widely circulated in biographies by the likes of Larry Sabato and Seymour Hersh.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. JFK was definitely smart, articulate & charming, and a phenomenally gifted tv performer, but that doesnt mean he was a great president. His actual legacy of accomplishment was rather meager, altho he had one great foreign policy triumph, the atmospheric test ban treaty. The myth that he was a great liberal reformer domestically will not survive the merest familiarity with the historical record. Personally, I think he was a rather mediocre president. That doesnt mean he wasnt the better choice against Nixon in 1960, and I would have voted for him (as my parents did), but we must avoid being seduced by personal charisma when the facts contradict our fantasies.

Gunilla Von Post Swedish socialite Gunilla Von Post had a six-year affair with President John F. Kennedy beginning in 1953. She made these claims in her memoir “Love, Jack.” The young Swede first met with 36-year-old JFK when she was 21 and they were both visiting the French Riviera. In her memoir, she wrote of the night: “He turned and kissed me tenderly and my breath was taken away. The brightness of the moon and stars made his eyes appear bluer than the ocean beneath us.” At the time JFK was to marry Jackie in three weeks but the pair stayed in touch, meeting another night two years later. Von Post claims that Kennedy rang his father telling him he wanted to divorce Jackie and be with her instead but that he was warned that such a scandal would ruin his political career.

Mary Pinchot Meyer was the sister-in-law of legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and after Monroe is probably the most high-profile of Kennedy’s affairs. She died in tragic and unexplained circumstances a year after Kennedy’s own assassination which has led to Kennedy conspiracy theory lovers believing her death to have been part of a giant cover-up. Friends since a prep school dance in 1938, her first marriage to a CIA agent and her sister’s marriage to Bradlee placed her in Kennedy’s inner circles and she was a frequent visitor to the White House. Meyer was murdered in Georgetown in 1964, two years after the tragic death of Monroe, in an execution-style shooting that has never been resolved. Meyer had her life and relationship with Kennedy chronicled in the book “A Very Private Woman” by Nina Burleigh.
