Foreword: “Let no reader take this as a serious historical document. It is just a gallery of girls painted on the walls of Time in colors that will never fade. Blonde, or brunette, - tall, or petite, - vivacious or demure, - we see them all playing their roles in the Executive Mansion, but for the political and Presidential struggles, enmities, victories, defeats and vital issues which formed the background of their various lives, there is no place in this book.”
