Calling JFK a “horndog” for seducing a 19-year-old intern, the New York Post quotes at length from an embargoed memoir which will be published on Wednesday. The story says the Post obtained a copy from a Manhattan bookstore. The news propelled the book to #71 on Amazon sales rankings; libraries are showing 1:1 holds on moderate ordering.

The NYT wrote about the affair in 2009, when the book deal was signed. The author has not spoken publicly about the relationship since it was first revealed in 2003.
