John & Jacqueline Kennedy
by Ruth Ashby
Presidents and First Ladies #35
Jack and Jackie Kennedy, the most glamorous president and first lady ever to live in the White House, were a charismatic couple and a superb political team. To many people in the 1960s, they seemed as dazzling as the prince and princess in a fairy tale. Revelations about the Kennedys’ private life have since led us to realize that the fairy tale was an illusion, yet their imperfections highlight their very real virtues: courage, grace, intelligence, and a capacity to grow. Many decades later, Jack and Jackie Kennedy continue to fascinate us.
