John F Kennedy Got A Flight Attendant Pregnant And Paid For Abortion, New Book Claims
Former US President John F Kennedy once got a flight attendant pregnant, and then paid for her abortion, just months after his wife, Jackie, gave birth to their daughter, Caroline, a new book has claimed. According to People, the claims were made in a bombshell new biography, titled 'JFK: Public, Private, Secret', by J. Randy Taraborrelli. Excerpts from the book reveal that Mr Kennedy had an affair with a young flight attendant named Joan Lundberg, whom he met in 1956 when he was a senator from Massachusetts. According to the book, at the time, the former president was 39 years old, while Ms Lundberg was 23. In 1958, shortly after the birth of the Kennedys' daughter Caroline, Ms Lundberg reportedly called JFK to share her own pregnancy news. "Joan would recall that her news about the baby was 'like a knife to Jack's heart," reads the excerpt, per the People. "Jack couldn't help but wonder if Joan had purposely planned the pregnancy, given that she'd seen his devotion to Jackie after Caroline's birth. He also wondered if he was really the father, and Joan assured him he was," the author wrote. Further, the book claims that after their phone call revelation, Mr Kennedy told the 23-year-old that he would mail her $400 to get an abortion. "'Being a politician is who I am,' he told her. 'Politics is all I know. If you take that away . . .' His voice trailed off. Before she could respond, he disconnected the line," the excerpt states. According to the biography, when the money failed to reach Ms Lundberg, JFK became "unhinged". Eventually, he wired more money, following which the flight attendant "took care of things". "Jack was very clear; he didn't want Joan to have the baby... She was angry and disappointed, but also realistic," Mr Taraborrelli writes. According to People, Ms Lundberg was a single mom of two. At the time, she was living with a man named Norm Bishop and working as a flight attendant for Frontier Airlines. JFK, on the other hand, was married to Jacqueline Kennedy at the time. He never publicly acknowledged the affair. 'JFK: Public, Private, Secret', by J. Randy Taraborrelli, is due to be published on July 17.

John F Kennedy got flight attendant pregnant, paid for abortion: bombshell book claims
Former US President John F Kennedy got a flight attendant pregnant and allegedly paid for her abortion, just months after his wife, Jackie Kennedy, gave birth to their daughter, Caroline, according to a new book. The claims were made in JFK: Public, Private, Secret, an upcoming biography by J Randy Taraborrelli. The book, excerpts of which were shared by People, details Kennedy's alleged affair with Joan Lundberg, a 23-year-old flight attendant he met in 1956, when he was a US senator. In 1958, shortly after Caroline Kennedy's birth, Lundberg reportedly informed JFK she was pregnant. According to the book, Kennedy offered no support beyond a brief phone call and sent her $400 with instructions suggesting she get an abortion. 'He told her, 'You'll know what to do,'' the excerpt reads. Lundberg later wrote in her unpublished memoir that she was 'angry and disappointed, but also realistic.' The book claims JFK doubted if he was the father, but Lundberg insisted he was. Taraborrelli also notes that Kennedy became 'unhinged' when the money did not reach her on time, and eventually wired it to her. He became positively unhinged. Joan later wrote: 'My God! You had never heard anybody use expletives so much in the whole history of Washington.' Jack was very clear; he didn't want Joan to have the baby. Their affair ended not in person but on the phone. When Jack called Joan to check on her, she told him, 'I'm going to need to put some distance between us.' He understood. 'I owe you so much,' he told her. 'One thing I want to say to you, Kennedy,' she told him. 'You love Caroline, and I know that, but I'm somebody's daughter, too. Remember that the next time you treat a woman the way you've treated me.' JFK, who was married to Jacqueline Kennedy at the time, never publicly acknowledged the affair. The book is set to be released on July 17 by St Martin's Press.

I work with rich CEOs — multi-millionaires all share these same 6 habits
They're the six for success. A personal brand expert who has spent time with some of the world's wealthiest people says multi-millionaires all have the same six habits. Kelly Lundberg, 44, revealed the half-dozen practices in an interview with the Daily Mail, saying they're followed by both self-made success stories and scions eager to continue adding to their inherited wealth. 'They've carved out success through habits, discipline and mindset,' the Dubai-based businesswoman asserted. First, she revealed that the uber-wealthy are all lifelong learners. 'It's not just about consuming new information, it's often about revisiting old books and ideas,' Lundberg explained, saying rich people 'go deeper, not wider.' 'Many millionaires reread key books multiple times. Why? Because it shifts their focus from information hoarding to implementation,' she declared. Secondly, millionaires spend their time wisely, often outsourcing menial tasks that don't help them build wealth. Cooking and cleaning are two examples provided by Lundberg. 'It isn't because they feel 'too good' to do [these things], but because they've realized their time could be better spent growing their business or supporting their wellbeing so they don't get burnout,' the guru dished. Meanwhile, multi-millionaires constantly pay attention to their social networks, looking for people who could help inspire them. 'The entrepreneurs who I see leading successful businesses surround themselves with ambitious, successful people, as they not only naturally raise your standards, but they can open doors you may never have access to otherwise,' Lundberg asserted. Another habit shared by the rich: Practicing discipline. Lundberg explained that the wealthy often stick to strict routines and carry them out even if they feel like they don't want to. 'When you treat discipline like a skill and systems like your secret weapon, everything becomes easier and success more sustainable,' the maven said. Similarly, Lunderg has noticed that all millionaires take their health seriously. 'Poor health doesn't just cost money, it can limit your ability to earn in the long term, especially if you are the business,' she said. 'More than that, the clarity, confidence and endorphins you get from taking care of yourself physically carry into every business decision and opportunity,' the branding expert added, asserting that health really does equal wealth. Finally, the sixth habit shared by all successful multi-millionaires: investing in appreciating assets. Lundberg believes that rich people are often prudent about their finances, and don't usually waste money on frivolous things that decline in value. Rather than splash out on a flashy car or handbag in an attempt to emulate the wealthy, instead implement these six habits. 'Track your net worth, not your outfit value,' Lundberg urged.
