In October 1961, Mary began visiting John F. Kennedy in the White House. It was about this time she began an affair with the president. Mary told her friends, Ann and James Truitt, that she was keeping a diary about the relationship.
In 1962 Mary made contact with Timothy Leary, the director of research projects at Harvard University.
Leary supplied LSD to Mary who used it with Kennedy. Leary also claimed
that Mary helped influence Kennedy's views on nuclear disarmament and
rapprochement with Cuba. It was later discovered that the FBI was keeping a file on Mary. Later, James Angleton, head of counterintelligence at the CIA admitted that the agency was bugging Mary's telephone and bedroom during this period.
Kennedy aide, Meyer Feldman, claimed in an interview with Nina Burleigh
that the president might have discussed substantial issues with her: "I
think he might have thought more of her than some of the other women
and discussed things that were on his mind, not just social gossip."
