Madame Sarkozy
When I was a little girl, one still heard the inspiring slogan that America was a place so full of promise and equal opportunity that "Any boy can grow up to be president."

(The 21st century corollary, "Any flag lapel pin-sporting attractive outdoorsy conservative female with five children one of whom is being deployed to Iraq can grow up to be nominated for Vice President" was not yet being bandied about.)

Having just finished the unfussily titled Marilyn et JFK, a brand new French-language tome by prominent journalist Francois Forestier, I have to think that, above all, a president-to-be needs extraordinary organizational skills.

Because it's difficult for me to understand how a head of state could have such frequent sex with so many different women in so many places and still run the country.

JFK initiated and completed encounters with the fair sex in the amount of time I might dedicate to eating a small Hershey bar. Mr. Kennedy's relentless extracurricular pronging is now common knowledge, but was not well known to the nation when he occupied the White House.

Reading Mr. Forestier's book -- which, on September 11 at the Deauville Festival of American Film, will receive the 34-year-old event's Literary Prize, (an award that has previously gone to Gore Vidal, Norman Mailer and Budd Schulberg) -- one is reminded that the field of journalism has changed quite a bit since "Camelot."
And not just because it is possible for Sam Zell to continue to wield power and influence after stating that the most valuable reporters are the ones who crank out the most stories. (One word is as good as another, apparently. That's certainly going to save ME a lot of time as a reporter from now on.)

And, since people who read newspapers probably enjoy reading, getting rid of the book review section of the LA Times seems about as bright as trying to kill Castro with poison pens and exploding (or LSD-laced) cigars.

In Kennedy's day, the electorate was spared too many potentially upsetting details about the president's penchant for swift horizontal exercise.

Forestier describes Washington Post publisher Phil Graham's champagne-fueled outburst at the AP convention in 1963. Although he and JFK were friends, Graham blew a gasket wanting to know why the president's seemingly bottomless appetite for having sex with women other than his wife was conspicuously absent from print and the airwaves.

Yeah -- why DOES the press discuss some things and ignore others? Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's obituary in the NY Times said of the Russian writer's acceptance speech for the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature :
