Claudia asked me with some skepticism where I&#8217;d heard that. I couldn&#8217;t recall but it might have been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/cheats\/2011\/08\/07\/explosive-jackie-o-tapes-to-be-released.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been immersed in a number of books about the politics of the 1960s of late so this is of greater interest to me at the moment. My buddy sent me <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/video\/2011\/08\/1123803011001\">this charming short video on Jackie <\/a>which is short and sweet. (BTW after Jackie married a Greek Shipping Tycoon one of my uncles gloried in calling her a &#8220;whore&#8221;). I never said anything because he was my uncle but I knew his disapprobation was widespread and, I always thought, unfair. <\/p>\n<p>Even if Jackie&#8217;s affair is confirmed by the release of her memoirs I would think the admission is more a reflection of her candor and honesty than her moral scruples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was watching the great Billy Wilder film Sunset Boulevard the other night with poor old William Holden floating in a pool reminiscing about&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3972"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3972\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
