POSTHUMOUS ASSASSINATION

How fortunate for Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many more of our leaders that their private lives were not dissected for profitable public consumption.

Even if the gossip of the late President Kennedy’s excessive sexual virility is true, if you’ll pardon the colloquialism, he did not “do it” to the country, as some of his conservative successors so outrageously did.
