Book Preview:

#1 The day we left for Texas began like every other presidential trip. People were hustling to get last-minute changes to speeches typed. The president and first lady's schedules were planned to the minute. The trip was important politically, but Mrs. Kennedy was also eager to make a good impression.

#2 The buzzer system sounded three times, indicating the president was moving around the house. President Kennedy walked out of the elevator and saw me sitting at my desk. He said, Good morning, Clint. I replied, Good morning, Mr. President.

#3 The sound of the helicopter arriving on the South Lawn was the signal that it was time to depart. The president gave his son one last hug, and started for the door of the chopper. He turned and looked at Agent Foster, who had slid into the seat next to John, and said something I would never forget.

#4 Air Force One is a customized Boeing 707 with tail number 26000. It is configured to accommodate the president as if he were in the White House, with a state-of-the-art communications system that can connect to any telephone in the world.
