0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.
0:06.3	I'm your host, Jeff Crudel.
0:24.7	Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast.
0:28.3	Today's episode is episode 272.
0:34.6	And yes, it's still a continuation of the Bobby Baker series because there's still a lot to tell here.
0:39.0	And it weaves together, just like all of the other estuaries that we've gone down before here at JFK, the Enduring Secret. You know, you can't go to Washington without,
0:45.5	well, getting involved with the girls. At least that's the way it was. And perhaps still is.
0:52.0	But it was certainly a madman environment in the 1950s and into the early 1960s.
1:00.2	And one thing Baker was good at was getting with the girls.
1:05.1	So let's just take a minute and talk a little bit about his girl.

1:29.8	And that's exactly what happened to Bobby Baker.
1:32.6	No matter how you feel about that morally,
1:37.0	the real story here is how it plays into the entire narrative about this high-role and individual, Bobby Baker.
1:40.9	He was into everything, including the girls. And that's just how they portrayed it. Good or bad,
1:48.8	right or wrong, true or not. But let's face it, you're not here to hear about Nancy Carroll Tyler.
1:57.4	I mean, it's interesting in all, Bobby Baker having an affair with his secretary, but it's
2:03.2	unfortunately a rather commonplace thing in the 1950s and early 1960s. What you're really here
2:09.6	to listen to is the story of Ellen Romatch and the affair that she had with President Kennedy.
