  • How JFK's Lifelong Friend Helped Shape U.S. Foreign Policy

    This article has been adapted from Gary Ginsberg's first book, First Friends: The Powerful, Unsung (And Unelected) People Who Shaped Our Presidents. Twenty-one months into his term in the White House, the youngest elected president in American history found himself facing a crisis so grave that it threatened not only his political life but also humanity itself.

  • 'First Friends': New book explores presidential BFFs who helped shape history

    Gary Ginsberg’s proximity to power during his years as a lawyer in the Clinton White House gave him a keen understanding of how influence works in the executive branch.
