JFK, Gore Vidal, and Tennessee Williams go shooting

Twitter is a bit atwitter with the photo, via @BeschlossDC, of JFK shooting with Gore Vidal and Tennessee Williams.... Alas, no Beschloss mention of The Glorious Bird's aside to Vidal about JFK's nice a**. Vidal told Tennessee that he can't cruise the next president of the United States. That was probably meant to egg him on. From Gore Vidal's Palimpsest: A Memoir, 1995, photo caption:
Jack was shooting at a target when we arrived at the Kennedy house. Abesently, Tenn took the rifle and shot three bull's-eyes, to Jack's consernation. "And that," said the Bird, "was with my blind eye."
