They didn't need to keep it quiet. The press just didn't report on it. The media liked Kennedy, and don't forget this was before the post-Watergate "White House vs. the Press" era. -- Regards, [tv] Owner/proprietor, Trollus Amongus, LLC

In the 1960s, my father was a branch executive for a company headquartered in Texas, and the guys in charge knew all about Kennedy's womanizing (perhaps via the company's connections to LBJ, which were considerable and of long standing). JFK's behavior wasn't widely reported until it became history sometime in the 1970s, prompted by the Judith Exner scandal.
I remember that Jackie K sued to force William Manchester to delete portions of his manuscript for "The Death of a President." At least some of that material had to do with JFK's fooling around.
