I'm not that kind of boy," Jack angrily wrote to Lem after his
friend made a sexual advance. But Jack didn't end the relationship.
From the time John F. Kennedy and Kirk LeMoyne "Lem" Billings met
at Choate, until the President's assassination thirty years later,
Jack and Lem remained best friends. Lem was a virtual fixture in
the Kennedy family who even had his own room at the White House.
Drawing on hundreds of letters and telegrams between the two, plus
Lem Billings's oral history and interviews with family and friends
like Ben Bradlee, Gore Vidal, and Ted Sorensen, award-winning
Kennedy scholar David Pitts tells the story of an unusual
friendship that endured despite an era of rampant homophobia.
