A New York Minute

by Gwendolyn Olmsted

Everyone knows about Marilyn for JFK; and even more knew about Carolyn for John John Jr. But very few have heard the tale of Gwendolyn and John John Jr. In a New York minute, a fate can be twisted, turned, silenced forever, and changed. This is the tale of an over-privileged, public figured, American Royal, John John Jr. New York City District Attorney, at the height of his prominence and ascendancy, his encounter with a contumacious, yet haughty contradistinctive defendant, unlike any other he had ever pressed up against before, in his very public job as an assistant in the New York City District Attorney's Office, for the four years following law school graduation, would prove to show him another world, a better way, with as much class as his own mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and above all else, the only happiness John John Jr. had ever known in his entire short life. Read the tale of one of John John Jr.'s lesser known flames of his private life past, this one, the only one who could have kept him from his fate he met in mid-July, 1999.
