(L-R: Courtesy of Mimi Alford; John F. Kennedy Library) “Rock Center” is getting into the “get” business. But Meredith Viera’s first-get interview with Mimi Alford, in which she discussed her version of her relationship with President John F. Kennedy in 1962, did not attract mobs to the NBC newsmagazine, which recently moved to Wednesday night.
