John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy wrote the forward to "Listening In." Caroline, who was born in 1957, writes of the White House conversations that "although at the time I was too young to understand much of what was happening, I recall spending happy afternoons eating candy and making paper-clip necklaces under my father's desk while men talked in serious voices. The delight in my father's voice when my brother and I appear is something I treasure."
