Helen Thomas & Eleni Epstein

I just found this great 1961 image of journalist Helen Thomas with President JFK. Helen was good friends with women’s page journalist Eleni Epstein. In 1955, Eleni told Thomas that she had paid enough dues on the dawn patrol and deserved a better position. This story can be found in Helen Thomas, Front Row at the White House (New York: Scribner, 2000)

I just received revision recommendations for an R & R on my article about Eleni. I went through her papers at two archives to write the article.
