Photo Essay Robert F. Kennedy JFK's younger brother was U.S. Attorney General and Senator, but also fell victim to an assassin's bullet.
Instead, the author claim's Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Bobby Kennedy shared a romance, detailed in the book "Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story."
C. David Heymann has written several biographies, including one of Bobby Kennedy, however, his latest book is sure to raise eyebrows with allegations such as Jackie Kennedy was spotted by a White House official in 1966 with RFK "straddling his lap, her arms around his neck."
At the time, Bobby Kennedy was married to his wife, Ethel, with whom he fathered 11 children.
Franklin Roosevelt Jr., President Kennedy's Undersecretary of Commerce, tells Heymann, "I suspect Bobby would've liked to dump Ethel and marry Jackie, but, of course, that wasn't possible."
The book hits shelves next week.

- This is some author trying to cash in..They are dead. Leave it alone I say. I loved JFK and Jackie...and Bobby. In those days, we were crying about the Kennedys being killed. Can't think of one president I would cry over now.

- What I'd like to know is how does Ted Kennedy sleep at night knowing he swam away from that poor drowning girl, leaving her helpless and quite dead, while saving his own sorry Aiss.

- Truely sad if it happened. Not doubting it did, not adding credence that it did.
At any rate, IF it is a story, it is long past its prime. - Reply to this comment
- Does he have proof and at this time, who cares. Let them rest in peace.
