A speed-freak in the White House: How grand
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a little light and PEOPLE magazine-y in parts. But every now and then the author slips the needle in and lets you know he knows more than he's letting on. The catty remarks by Gore Vidal spice things up. I particularly liked the account of Kennedy's personal physician, Dr. Max Jacobson -- the legendary "Dr. Feelgood." Four times a week, right up until the assassination, the Doc was shooting Kennedy up with a special concoction; 25% vitamins and 75% pure dexedrine. Isn't it nice to know we had a speed-freak tweaker in the White House with his twitching fingers on The Button? (Funny how they didn't teach me these stuff in 6th grade History class.) Beneath Jack Kennedy's "vigorous, youthful" facade was a sickly man. And the same can be said for the whole shiney, air-brushed "Kennedy myth" and the rot just underneath the surface. They don't call it "the Kennedy curse" for nothing. Truly, the Kennedys are one of the sickest families to ever inflict themselves on the American body.
Spectacular

A fast read. Many details and secrets that probably would not have been published if either of them were alive.

A fascinating look at a couple millions thought they knew
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
An intimate look at the parts of Jack and Jackie Kennedy that were not visible to the American public. Author Christopher Andersen presents a well-researched, balanced, and sensitive portrait of Jack and Jackie. This is not a mean-spirited book, but it is honest. Don't expect Camelot. A book loaded with anecdotes that you will want to share with your friends
