Episode 110: From the Oscars to Camelot - JFK, Jackie and That Guy From “Bonnie and Clyde.”

 

Here Roger explains how he wound up on the red carpet at the Oscars with a Playboy model as his date! He didn't even own a tux at the time but that didn't matter. Roger then tells us of his Army days in Germany during JFK's historical visit there and how the Germans' opinion of the president differed sharply with those of some of his fellow soldiers - a difference that resulted in fisticuffs. Roger also remembers when JFK visited during his days at Harvard and there's also a story about Roger meeting Jackie at a party and how she was "saved" by Norman Mailer of all people.
