Georgetown revealed diary entries of Jackie's counseling sessions
WASHINGTON -- The head of the Jesuit community at Georgetown University said this week that he has apologized to the Kennedy family for the release this month of diary excerpts in which a Jesuit priest described counseling sessions he had with Jacqueline Kennedy after her husband's assassination.
The Rev. Brian McDermott also said he has not made a decision about future public access to the priest's papers, which are held by the university's library. Previously, the university had said there were no restrictions on viewing the papers.

Kennedy was counseled in early 1964 by the Rev. Richard T. McSorley, who taught at Georgetown and died last year. Library officials on Nov.12 allowed several news organizations, including the Washington Post, to view portions of McSorley's diary in which he described Kennedy's thoughts about suicide.
McDermott said Wednesday that he wrote an apology to Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg because he was concerned that the recent publicity about her mother's conversations with McSorley would increase the family's pain just as the 40th anniversary of President Kennedy's 1963 assassination approached.
