FIRST IN DAILY REAMIS Jackie dies at 64 of By Bruce Frankel and Sandra Sanchez USA TODAY NEW YORK — Funeral ar- rangements are expected to be announced this weekend for former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, 64. She died in her sleep late Thursday of complications of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. "She kind of slipped away," said spokeswoman Nancy Tuckerman, who added the fu- neral is expected to be private. Children Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg and John F. Ken- nedy Jr., were with her in her New York apartment. "She was able to live her life in a noble way in a rough and tumble world," said Marianne Huber, 57, among 100 people who stood outside. The widow of slain president John F. Kennedy, Onassis had charmed the nation with her generosity and gentleness: ► She "was a model of cour- age and dignity," President Clinton said in a statement. ► "Jackie was part of our family and part of our hearts for 40 wonderful and unforget- table years," said brother-in- law, Sen. Edward Kennedy. ► "She was an image of beauty and romance," said Lady Bird Johnson, who suc- ceeded Onassis as first lady.

  • E Onassis Marriage and the Hellenization of an American Icon
    Jackie the Greek: e Onassis Marriage and the Hellenization of an American Icon David Wills | Neograeca Bohemica | 20 | 2020 | 9–23 | Abstract A 1968 series of satirical audio sketches concerning the marriage and lifestyle of Aristotle Onassis and Jacqueline Kennedy provides an opportunity to re- -examine the reputation of this famous couple. ese recordings connect with well-known negative assumptions – both in the contemporaneous media and in the previously restricted governmental fi les from the British National Archives used here – about Kennedy’s cynicism and Onassis’ Greek heritage. It will also be argued here that Jackie’s attempts to engage with Greece, especially Modern Greece, were a deliberate choice as part of her new identity, but in reality mere- ly contributed to her damaged image. Keywords Onassis, Hellenism, American satire, Skorpios, Greek shipowners 10 | David Wills In the 1960s Jacqueline Bouvier made the journey from American idol to fallen Greek goddess. Already in her time as First Lady, she had introduced Ancient Greek culture to JFK, leading to the adoption of classical themes in Presidential rhetoric and antique gowns at White House balls. Her subsequent marriage to Aristotle Onassis enabled her to become part of Modern Greece too. But al- though Jackie delighted in exploring her adopted country’s lifestyle, becoming a Modern Greek had its pitfalls as well as practical benefi ts. It caused widespread damage to her reputation amongst the American media and public. is was not merely because of her marriage to a wealthy, older man.

  • How Aristotle Onassis Made His First Million in Argentina
    How Aristotle Onassis Made His First Million in Argentina (Reprinted from Brandstand Summer 2007) Many people are familiar with the story of how a vast fortune was amassed by Aristotle Onassis in his lifetime through control of a worldwide shipping empire but few are aware that his first million was earned making cigarettes in Argentina during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The story of this early cigarette manufacturing venture reveals much about the way Onassis would approach the business world all his life. Aristotle Onassis spent his early years in the city of Smirne in the province of Anatolia. His father, Socrates had moved to the bustling trade port after hearing stories of the numerous economic opportunities there. He had started up a small import-export shop dealing in cotton, figs, rugs and tobacco and his business soon flourished. With his three brothers as partners, Socrates expanded the business repeatedly and then began to focus on tobacco as their principal commodity. Socrates Onassis married the daughter of a village notable around 1898 and Aristotle and his brother Artemide were born within the next two years. Young Ari and his brother grew up during a period of hostilities between Greek and Turkish nationalists. The area where they lived was occupied by Turkey in 1909 and remained so throughout WWI. After the war, Greece was encouraged to reoccupy Smirne and they did so. However, the reoccupation was short-lived and in 1927, Turkish troops under command of Kemal Pascia conquered the territory once again. Socrates Onassis was thrown into a Turkish prison for his Greek nationalist activities.

An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates.

  • JACQUELINE Ingen Amerikansk Præsidentfrue Har Som JACQUELINE KENNEDY JACQUELINE KENNEDY Fået Ikonstatus I Hele Verden
    160 mm 32 mm 160 mm JACQUELINE Ingen amerikansk præsidentfrue har som JACQUELINE KENNEDY JACQUELINE KENNEDY fået ikonstatus i hele verden. KENNEDY LIVET OM F. MED JOHN SAMTALER KENNEDY I 1964 – året efter mordet på John F. Kennedy – satte hans hustru, SAMTALER OM LIVET MED Jacqueline Kennedy, sig ned med historikeren Arthur Schlesinger, jr., og JOHN F. KENNEDY optog syv samtaler om livet med John F. Kennedy, om præsidentperioden og om tilværelsen i Det Hvide Hus. Således leverede hun både et historisk vidnesbyrd om en af de mest spændende og myteomgærdede perioder i amerikansk historie og den fascinerende fortælling om sit eget liv. Hun udtalte sig aldrig siden om sine erindringer fra den tid. I interviewene, som først blev offentliggjort i 2011 og her foreligger på dansk, giver Jackie et unikt indblik i sit og John F.s liv og præsidenttiden: 240 mm Sobert og ærligt fortæller hun om John F. Kennedy – som menneske og som politiker. Åbenhjertigt og klogt beretter hun om sine indtryk af de store politiske skikkelser, hun mødte: de Gaulle, Khrusjtjov, Nixon, Martin Luther King og mange fl ere. Og med insiderberetninger om de store kriser – ikke mindst Cuba-krisen – kaster hun nyt lys over historiske begivenheder, som blev afgørende for verdensudviklingen. Endelig får vi et levende portræt af Jacqueline Kennedy selv: af en kvinde, der blev gift ind i verdenshistorien, og som indtog sin plads med styrke, charme og begavelse. Og som måtte opleve, hvordan hele det liv, hun havde skabt, med ét slag blev taget fra hende igen: den 22. november 1963, da Lee Harvey Oswald skød og dræbte John F.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hyperion Contact: Marie Coolman Executive Director of Publicity 917-661-2050 [email protected] JFK Library Contact: Rachel Day 617-514-1656 [email protected] Cutter Media Group contact: Stephanie Cutter 202-528-0143 [email protected] Hyperion to Publish Jacqueline Kennedy Oral History Interviews from 1964 to Be Edited by Caroline Kennedy April 13, 2010—Hyperion today announced plans to publish an historic new book based upon never- before-disclosed interviews with Jacqueline Kennedy. The book is scheduled for publication in September 2011. Conducted in the spring of 1964 and intended for deposit at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum—not yet in existence at the time—Mrs. Kennedy’s conversations with historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. were part of a wide-ranging oral history project that captured the recollections and reflections of those close to President Kennedy shortly after his death. The seven interviews have remained strictly sealed since then in accordance with Mrs. Kennedy’s wishes. Now, in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Administration, in association with the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Mrs. Kennedy’s family plans to make available both the interview transcripts and the 6.5 hours of audio recordings of those interviews. The book will be edited and introduced by Caroline Kennedy, and will also include historical annotations and contextual explanations provided by a respected historian. The interviews cover a wide range of subjects from John F. Kennedy’s early campaigns to the Cuban Missile Crisis, including Mrs. Kennedy’s evolving sense of herself and her role as First Lady; family and married life in the White House; and President Kennedy’s plans for a second term.

  • The Humanity of Ted Kennedy
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYL\14-2\NYL202.txt unknown Seq: 1 11-APR-11 9:33 THE HUMANITY OF TED KENNEDY Caroline Kennedy* Good afternoon. I’ve heard a lot about NYU Law School from John so I’m happy to be here today and find out it’s all true. On behalf of the members of my family, particularly Teddy, who’s here today, I want to thank the Dean and faculty and the Journal of Legislation and Public Policy for paying tribute to my uncle’s legislative legacy. Others will talk about Teddy’s mastery of the Senate, his far- sighted chairmanship of the Judiciary and HELP Committees, and the major legislation that would not have been passed but for his passion, commitment, and perseverance: the ADA, minimum wage, criminal justice code overhaul, immigration, changing the voting age to eigh- teen, and every major piece of civil and voting rights legislation over the past fifty years. It’s still hard to fully comprehend how directly Teddy’s work impacted the lives of every American. I thought I would just say a few words about him as person, be- cause I think that more than almost anyone else I’ve ever met, Teddy’s humanity is what made him such a legislative giant. Teddy was known to his many nieces and nephews for his big hugs, his big heart, and his come-one-come-all sailing expeditions. When fewer and fewer people wanted to join these death defying ex- cursions, he created the Family History Trip for all generations to visit historic sites together.
