Kennedy’s assassination. Because she was a former CIA wife, Mary’s murder fueled intense speculation. What few knew at the time was that Mary, a frequent visitor to the White House, had also been JFK’s lover. … the search for her diary was carried out by her brother-in-law, newsman Ben Bradlee, and by CIA spymaster James Jesus Angleton. Did Mary Meyer die because of her nearness to power? Or was the right man – an alleged would-be mugger – arrested after all, only to be acquitted?’ (from rear flap)
