Jackie and Bobby's 'Doomed' Love
The New York Post reports a few juicy details from an upcoming biography by C. David Heymann called Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story. The book says Jackie Kennedy had a four-year love affair with her brother-in-law, Robert Kennedy.Heymann has written about Jackie and Bobby before, in 1989's A Woman Named Jackie: An Intimate Biography of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and in 1998's R.F.K.: A Candid Biography of Robert F. Kennedy.
We don't stand by Heymann's claims, but the Post story has some interesting anecdotes. Read it here.

Wow. Just... wow.
I didn't think there was anything else in the JFK/RFK oeuvre that could surprise me.
Well... read up on the book's author:

Of course, then you have to wonder about the credibility of the critic. For example, the above-cited piece makes a big deal out of the rumor that John Kennedy, Jr. didn't want to fly, but his wife made him. He calls the gossip "proof of a cover up," but that seems a stretch.
