Far, faaaaaaar too much information.
We all knew he was a big prick, but we really don't care if it carried over physically.
Old blue eyes had a large train collection. He even got some designers to make accessories, that looked like his old Hoboken neighborhood, to run his trains in front of.

Clinton's hiding place.
If you've ever tried to get through a single issue of Foreign Affairs, you'd agree. It's especially amusing that they have publish in huge "large print" type because their readership is so overwhelmingly OLD.
Do you think he and Milton Berle ever got together and...?
Q: Tim Leary suggested that your book was originally censored and pulped because of references to Mary Pinchot Meyer. Do you feel that way and can you tell us a little bit about Mary Meyer?A: Mary Pinchot Meyer was the sister of Ben Bradlee's second wife, Tony Pinchot. She was a very beautiful, talented artist who was living in Washington in the early `65 and she was the lover, I would say the principal lover, of John Kennedy, who was President of the United States. He was supposedly very much in love with her and wanted to divorce Jackie and marry her.
The Timothy Leary connection is interesting because at that time in the early sixties there was a group of society-type women in Washington who thought that if they could get men in power involved in mind-altering drugs they could see the world in a different way and this would end the Cold War and end all warfare. It was a very ambitious plan and a lot of them got their marijuana and LSD from Timothy Leary, who at that time was a professor of psychology at Harvard and had access to these drugs.
At that time were very experimental and they were going around in a lot of the elite circles. It didn't have the same connotation that it has today of the hard stuff, of the cocaine and the heroin. This was all very beautiful and mind-expanding type stuff. So she was involved with Kennedy and they used to supposedly smoke marijuana together in Kennedy's bedroom and I think Leary said that she also gave him LSD, although I couldn't swear to that.
Timothy Leary did alledge that she gave JFK LSD in his book Flashback.
Here is a brief citation from the Leary book that I found
online:I know very little about the issue, but there's definitely incentive to look into how much drugs JFK did in his time. Take a look at this quote in Timothy Leary's _Flashbacks_. Mary Meyer met with Kennedy about 30 times, the majority of which we can safely assume that he 1) had sex with her and/or 2) had an LSD session, overlooked by Meyer; the latter is known to have happened quite a few times, because she frequently reported to Leri himself of having great success at "turning on" some guys up top in the govt. After trying acid for the first time - yes acid (sounds unheard of these days, eh? I bet most of the normalized hippies alive today have forgotten this.) - the president made an interesting comment:
"Mary Meyer told Truitt that JFK had remarked:'This isn't like cocaine. I'll get you some of that.'" (366)
Note that "In interviews with the _National Enquirer_, Associated Press, and _Washington Post_ Truitt revealed that a woman named Mary Pinchot Meyer had conducted a two-year love affair with President John Kennedy and had smoked marijuana with him in a White House bedroom." (366)
