Description
In 1964, Mary Pinchot Meyer, the beautiful, rebellious, and intelligent ex-wife of a top CIA official, was killed on a quiet Georgetown towpath near her home. Mary Meyer was a secret mistress of President John F. Kennedy, whom she had known since private school days, and after her death, reports that she had kept a diary set off a tense search by her brother-in-law, newsman Ben Bradlee, and CIA spymaster James Jesus Angleton.
But the only suspect in her murder was acquitted, and today her life and death are still a source of intense speculation, as Nina Burleigh reveals in her widely praised book, the first to examine this haunting story.

The Disturbing Murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer
I found this story fascinating. Many slept with JFK and perhaps he was a pillow talker to her pillow listener. Mary was I guess an early hippie or a late bloomer. In Georgetown no less. If Mary and other of her married friends were talking about turning on their husbands to acid so that these women could be able to create a country of non violent men in Washington with the idea of a non violent world, well bless her heart.. Unforttunately it just might have gotten her killed. She was divorced from a CIA spook, all his friends were intelligence men. Something tells me that that kind of behaviour would scare a few people in the halls of Langley. A Very Private Woman is a book about the earley days of his presidency, a woman who believed in a cause that was geared towards a peaceful, clean environment for the whole world. For these beliefs she was coldbloodedly murdered in broad daylight. By whom? Still unsolved. Even though this was in the early 60's Mary was talking about issues such as pollution, atomic bombs the destruction of the planet. She was ahead of her time, or perhaps you just don't get together with your girlfriends to discuss mellowing out their husbands, to bring about world peace. Again, it was a beautiful idea that just might have gotten her killed. I admire her for those ideals, not too happy about her sleeping with another women's husband, who also happens to be a friend of hers as well. I loved this story and hated that she died so horribly. I also read Mary's Mosaic which was also well researched. GM
