Three months after Roselli's first appearance before the Senate committee, he was called back. This time he told another startling story: how he and Giancana had shared the affections of an attractive brunette named Judith Campbell Exner at a time when she also had, in her words, a "close, personal" relationship with President John F. Kennedy. The committee, trying to determine if Kennedy had known about the CIA's plans to eliminate Castro, wondered if Exner might have told the Pre ident about the activities of Roselli and Giancana. The investigation turned up no evidence that...
Love letters by Richard Nixon to the wife of a Spanish diplomat? Even at a time when nothing about Nixonian Washington can instantly be denied out of hand, it seemed beyond belief. But high-powered Literary Agent Scott Meredith, whose nonliterary clients include Spiro Agnew and Judith Exner, claims he got an anonymous tip, was instructed to place a cryptic ad in the Los Angeles Times, then heard from a man who turned over 22 letters to the unnamed woman.

She said she met Kennedy in Las Vegas in 1960 at a party given by "a friend." The friend was Singer Frank Sinatra; one former Kennedy aide understood that Sinatra and J.F.K.'s brother-in-law, Peter Lawford, owned a piece of a nightclub where Judy...
When Judith Campbell Exner said last week that she had "a close personal" relationship with Jack Kennedy, she was only confirming what had long been a matter of open and widespread speculation: that even after he entered the White House, the handsome and fun-loving Kennedy never stopped pursuing attractive women-nor they him. His privacy guarded by discreet Secret Service agents, his wife often away on vacations, his duties affording frequent travel, and the aura of his office proving nearly irresistible, Kennedy as President found the catching all the easier...
