For anyone interested, THE best book about Onassis and the Kennedy’s is NEMISIS. The author claims that Bobby Kennedy threatened Onassis and told him that the only way he would marry Jackie was “over my dead body”. There is plenty of evidence that Onassis was responsible for the murder.
My favorite Kennedy book was the one where Old Joe has daughter Rosemary lobotomized. The man was a piece of work all right. He had an affair with Gloria Swanson and she had an abortion as a result if it.
As I understand it, Jackie was the one who started the Camelot thing, because it was a very popular musical of the day. The early 60s were actually a very troubled time for our country—the Cold War about as bad as it could get, racial tensions at home, beginnings of the Viet Nam war, all kinds of things.
