This book is entertaining at best, salacious at worst. Sources are not discussed so it is hard to take the material seriously. One interesting point the book makes is how the media has shifted in its coverage of presidents' personal lives. Throughout history until LBJ, the romantic details of a president's life were not deemed ethically newsworthy. That ended with the adultery scandal of candidate Gary Hart, and since then, the public has become very aware of the sexual promiscuities of presidents (Bill Clinton comes to mind).
