I didn't know there was a stillborn child, too. I agree with you about being spared herr son's death and your other comments; she went through a lot. A bullet could have hit her that day, and she seemed impervious to her own safety.

Her knowledge of history of the furnishings and rooms of the White House (the redecorating was more returning it to what it had been under former presidents) was really impressive. She rattled off names, facts, and dates without missing a beat. I think she had a passion for history and books.

I came to like and admire her and the news and photos of the children, especially Caroline and her pony, Macaroni.

He could have been rendered practically impotent by his back, health and med problems, haven't read anything to that effect and pretty personal but it happens. So I don't know if all the tales with the exception of the Swedish woman of womanizing were true or not, even Marilyn. I can't remember what was proven and don't like to repeat the gossip and speculations, came to believe he did have affairs.

Jackie was a good mother, and whatever JFK was or wasn't, he was an extremely affectionate and playful father. The bathtub toys may have been for John John. From what I've read about what she divulged, I don't really think any the less of her for it.
