>A Bizarre and Revealing Biden Interview Death and the All-American Boy Joe Biden was a lot more careful around the press after this 1974 profile.

>“And I would like very much to fall in love and marry someone exactly like Francie Barnard. I think she is bright, pretty, and engaging. I like her quiet kind of style. She’s like my wife in that way. She does not come on strong. She is the only woman I have dated and I am with her every chance I can. We spend a lot of time in Delaware because I am more comfortable at home. The first time I took her to meet my family everyone started talking about heavy romance. They didn’t understand, I guess, that I would never take out anyone my mother didn’t meet first. That might sound weird but that’s the way I am.

She married BOB WOODWARD in 1974. So why was she dating Joe in 1974??
