Summary

“I'd seen flashes of the president’s darker side, which emerged rarely and only when we were among men he knew; that's when he felt a need to display his power over me. Although my admiration for him remains steadfast to this day, it is the darker aspect of his nature that I find hard to reconcile with all of his admirable qualities. In revealing this side of his personality now, I realize yet another damaging note will be added to the record. But I cannot airbrush or ignore his actions during his darker moments. They remain a stain on my memory.” - Marion Fay "Mimi" Beardsley Alford, JFK's Mistress and White House Intern
