Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: The Untold Story - Plot & Excerpts
Given the guest list, however, which included prominent figures from the worlds of politics, media, and the arts, the national press was soon trumpeting an occasion described by turns as “the event of the summer on Cape Cod” and as Jackie’s “farewell to sadness and … emergence definitely into a new life.” Throughout the early part of 1966 she had been widely photographed and chronicled as she traveled, rode, danced, dined, and appeared on the arm of various men, single and married, straight and gay. On the basis of all he had seen in the papers recently, William Manchester, who, it need hardly be said, had often had occasion to think of Jackie in the two years since they last met, concluded that she must be “fully emerged from mourning” at last. RFK, who continued to represent her interests in the family’s dealings with Manchester, knew better. At least since the time of the 1964 dinner party in her honor, after which she had spoken to Arthur Schlesinger of the flight back from Dallas and of the efforts made to persuade her to change her clothes, she had often told listeners in various moneyed Manhattan settings some of the identical stories she had related to Manchester.
