by William Hardcastle
William Manchester 's book Death of a President is published tomorrow. Its vast pre-publication success is a symptom of the compulsive fascination of John F. Kennedy , in life as in death, for almost everybody all over the world. Why? On what is the fascination based? On a cult that will fade, or a greatness that will last?
WILLIAM HARDCASTLE tries to answer these questions with the help of LORD HARLECH (as Sir David Ormsby-Gore , British Ambassador in Washington)
