Looking for material to fill his new magazine, called George - for George Washington - John Kennedy Jr. paid a visit to another George: George Wallace, a nemesis of Kennedy's father.
As governor in the 1960s, Wallace lost a showdown over segregation with President Kennedy. Federal officials helped two blacks enroll at the University of Alabama despite Wallace's "stand in the schoolhouse door.""He's just a fascinating American political figure," the president's son said Wednesday, a day after an interview in Wallace's office.
"I know his views have evolved," Kennedy said.
Kennedy hopes to have his first issue out in September.
Wallace, 75, has been paralyzed below the waist since a 1972 assassination attempt during a bid for the presidency.
His hearing is so poor that interviewers have to pose their questions in writing.
