NY Times tries to put a lid on the JFK affair story

From the NYT book review: There is much to tsk-tsk about in Ms. Alford’s account of her wide-eyed innocence and the president’s particular brand of cruelty toward her. But there’s not a lot of news, so the fuss should soon die down. When it does, “Once Upon a Secret” can be better appreciated for what it really is: the strangest memoir about secrets and lies since “The Politician,” by Andrew Young, exposed the delusional arrogance behind John Edwards’ presidential campaign. Like Mr. Young, Ms. Alford seems to have little idea how badly her stories reflect on herself.
