| Helen Thomas & John F. Kennedy - Together |
| 2013-10-06 |
| (Helen) Thomas arrived in Washington in 1942, at age 22, shortly after graduating from Detroit’s Wayne State University. Already University of Dearbornistan? United Press (later UPI) hired her in 1943. While working for UP, she went on a date with John F. Kennedy, then a young Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, whom she subsequently covered in the White House. “How did it go?” her friend asked her. “He was too fresh,” Helen reportedly replied. So she was already 'old' in 1942. Just imagine how history might have changed with Helen Thomas presiding over Camelot instead of Jacqueline Bouvier. |
