Mimi Alford, who served as a White House intern in 1962, now claims she had an 18-month affair with John F. Kennedy in her new memoir, “Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath.” First of all, you actually have to be known for something significant to write a memoir; a clandestine love affair doesn’t qualify. Second, Kennedy has been dead for almost half a century – even his wife and son are dead – and Alford literally comes out of nowhere to talk about this! Kennedy, a WWII hero and a true American, accomplished more in his short life than most people – including most presidents – do in a lifetime. If you want a more thorough examination of Kennedy’s life, either visit the official JFK web site, or read Chris Matthews book, “Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.”
