...month to arrive, and telephone calls were costly. In the interim, they married others and had children. In 2001, divorced and living with her son in Sao Paulo, Menko posted a message on the website seeking information about Hagen. "I always remembered Mike because he was the kindest, gentlest man I ever met," she says. Shortly afterward, Hagen signed up too. Recently separated, he was surprised and delighted when he read Menko's notice. "I couldn't believe she wanted to hear from me after 30 years," he says. They got in touch immediately.

At the Kennedy Library, author Robert Dallek, when writing his new J.F.K. biography, An Unfinished Life, came across an oral history done in 1964 by one of the gentlest, most ardent Kennedy supporters in existence, Barbara Gamarekian. In it Gamarekian, who had worked in the White House press office and later became a reporter for the New York Times, talks about Mimi; but she had embargoed that section of her reminiscences. Dallek persuaded her to release...
