Summary
It's an encore presentation of my October 2018 interview with Helen O'Donnell, the author of Launching LBJ, based on the journals and tapes of her father, the late Kenny O'Donnell, chief of staff to President Kennedy. You might know Kenny O'Donnell's story from Kevin Costner's portrayal of him in the movie Thirteen Days. This is a MUST LISTEN conversation, especially if you're a Kennedys aficionado.
