BREAKFAST AT KENNEDY'S
during the spring of 1935 I had the good fortune of making as my close acquaintance none
other than John F, (Jack) Kennedy* Jack and his roommate Lemoyne Billings (LeMoan, Jack
would say with an impish grin) were sixth-formers at the prestigious boarding school Choate,
where I was a struggling fourth-former. Jack was top dog at the school, much beloved for his
lightning wit and easy way with the ladies, but one sensed a sadness about him, A sadness that
came from being an outcast, the only Catholic at an all-Protestant boarding school. That's where
Jack and I bonded, I was the only Jew, My father ran the commissary so I was allowed to attend
school there. My room, or the Yeshiva, as Jack called it (he really wasn't prejudiced and would
often defend me to the others as a "terrific yid"), was a meeting place and a hotbed for hatching
great pranks ... I'm sure the ample supply of brisket and white-fish from Dad helped. Whatever it
was, Jack and I bonded and that spring break he invited Lem and me to visit with his family in
Hyannis. Lem, because he was Jack's best friend. "Big, ugly, retarded, chicken shit Lem," Jack
would winningly prod. And me—I guess because of our outcast bond ... and our similar views on
family and politics ... and I had a car.
I'm glad I kept this journal. I hope it gives the reader some sense of... not President Kennedy, not
Camelot, but the happy-go-lucky boy we knew—Jack.
APRIL 9, 1935
Trip gets off to a rocky start. I argued terribly with Father over the use of the family's Hudson.
It's our only car and my father felt he might need it to rush my younger brother to the doctor. He
recently contracted a form of typhus and the hospital is a good ten miles from campus. The
argument was quite heated. A "kikefight," Jack would expertly chide. Although my father
forbade me to take the car, Jack showed me how to start it without the keys and off we went.
Any ambivalent feelings I had were assuaged when Jack put his arm around me and said he
admired my pluck. "The Zippy Zionist," he would say, smartly using alliteration.
