Arpa Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Oral History... Armenian Style?! JFK Had Affair With Intern, Author Says NEW YORK (AP) - President John F. Kennedy had an affair with a 19-year-old intern who traveled with him on official trips, according to a new biography of Kennedy.``She had no skills. She could answer the phone,'' Robert Dallek, author of ``An Unfinished Life,'' told ``Dateline NBC'' in an interview that aired Sunday. ``Apparently, her only skill was to provide sexual release for JFK on those trips and maybe in the White House.''Dallek learned of the affair from a White House aide, Barbara Gamarekian, whose oral history was recently unsealed. Gamarekian told the Daily News that she remembers only the young intern's first name, which she refused to reveal.``It amazes me there continues to be such fascination with all things Kennedy,'' Gamarekian, 77, told the newspaper.Kennedy is known to have had numerous extramarital liaisons, but this is the first report of an affair with an intern.``There were lots of women,'' Dallek, whose book comes out Tuesday, told the newspaper.``The real question is: Did it distract him from his job as president? I think it really didn't.''Gamarekian had asked that the 17 pages in her oral history dealing with the intern be kept secret for a decade, then later asked the Kennedy Library in Boston, where her account is archived, to keep it sealed.Dallek discovered the blacked-out pages while researching his book and persuaded her to disclose the information. 05/12/03 09:51© Copyright The Associated Press.

gamavor Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Dear Arpa, Oral history as oppose to written (recorded ) history has very little value. Same is with sex. Oral sex legally speaking is not considered sexual intercourse. In our dynamic society it is rather stress - reliever. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khodja Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 I suppose that my late mother's oral history about her experiences during the Genocide have no value, nor those of hundreds of other Genocide survivors. As for Kennedy's sexual escapades, the morality police of the Bush administration are "Saddam-izing" America and turning it into a state where there is no privacy. What is next, cameras in our homes which will follow us everywhere we go, even to the toilet ( a la "1984")? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired in 1991, a recent cancer victim. One of the tens-of-thousands of "gorsevatz" Armenians in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
