...furry eyebrows still flutter like windshield wipers and the ever-present cigar is just as pungent as it was when Pierre Salinger served as John Kennedy's White House press secretary and a court jester to Camelot. One day this month Salinger, now 52, found himself conducting a press conference again, only this time his audience was a group of French businessmen: "The Concorde is a dinosaur ...

...tunes and some spangled bimbos, never in any more dissonant a musical mode than mixolydian.

Rightly or wrongly, the sexual excesses of politicians had not been seen as newsworthy until the advent of post-Watergate morality. It was hardly a partisan matter; widely rumored dalliances by F.D.R. and Ike went unreported too at the time. The bedtime habits of a President, moreover, are scarcely...
