175 Little-Known Facts About JFK

[nice clean copy with just a bit of wear along the spine, light surface wear to covers, small red adhesive dot affixed to upper corner of front cover]. Trade PB (B&W photographs on inside covers) Pretty much what its title states -- from the trivial ("He played bridge at Harvard, but was never very keen on cards") to the slightly more substantive ("He appointed more Rhodes Scholars (almost two dozen) to his administration than any other President"), all pretty much in a light personal vein. There's very little about his health issues, and nothing about his womanizing or marital stresses or other such scandalous topics; even the "Epilogue," presenting a few items about how people reacted to his assassination, generally strikes positive notes. After all, the country was still largely in shock in the Spring of 1964 when this little book appeared, and there would be decades ahead to get around to the demythologizing.
