THIS ARTICLE RECOUNTS SOME OF THE INFORMATION FOUND IN NEWLY-AVAILABLE RECORDS AT THE JOHN F. KENNEDY MEMORIAL LIBRARY. WHITE HOUSE GATE LOGS CORROBORATE THE PREVIOUS ALLEGED VISITATIONS OF JUDITH CAMPBELL, MARY PINCHOT MEYER, PAT NEWCOMB AND OTHERS TO THE KENNEDY WHITE HOUSE. THE LOGS ALSO CORROBORATE 34 VISITS OF DR. MAX JACOBSON BETWEEN APRIL 1961 AND MAY 1962; JACOBSON LATER LOST HIS MEDICAL LICENSE FOR "UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT." RECENTLY RELEASED MEDICAL FILES REVEAL THE EXISTENCE OF A NUMBER OF SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEMS WHICH KENNEDY OVERCAME THROUGH "REMARKABLE WILL AND FORTITUDE." THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE CONCLUDES BY CALLING FOR FULL DISCLOSURE OF ALL INFORMATION IN THE KENNEDY LIBRARY.
