Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, brilliant. Totally. I was thinking of their wedding, but you're totally right.

I thought the Kennedy baby was born alive but died within a few days.

“Not dead yet!”

I thought the Kennedy baby was born alive but died within a few days.

He was. His name was Patrick, IIRC. He was born 5 1/2 weeks early and died from Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Jacqueline also miscarried and gave birth to a stillborn baby girl in 1956 before Caroline was born.

That's the pregnancy with the picture of Jackie on the boat with the cigarette, right?

I don't mean to be flip, it's just such a creepy image, knowing what's to come.

Yeah, it's one of the rare photos taken of her smoking-- she was so conscious of public image and to her, a lady just wasn't seen publicly smoking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was just browsing through the Secret Lives of First Ladies and was a little surprised (though I shouldn't have been) at how many smoked.

When Laura met the Bush family, Barbara asked her what she did. Laura replied: "I read. I drink. I smoke."

(This made me think of certain Buffistas, actually.)

I thought Don and Pete both looked horrified at the blackface routine, but for different reasons. I think Don appears to have a burgeoning social conscience of sorts, which is sorta uncomfortable because he's not exactly hero material. But I do think he understands the desire to be treated as an equal. Pete, on the other hand, probably thought that the whole display was the gauche sensibility of the nouveau riche.

This was my interpretation as well. So many delightful details in this one.

My favorite moment had to be Roger talking about people being jealous of his happiness. He sounded exactly like the obnoxious "pretty girls" on Survivor and it was nice to see Don correct his misinterpretation.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't think I've ever seen that picture of Jackie. Huh.

Our wings are not tired.

Jackie smoking, and reading. [link]

eta: My memory was that she was pretty much a chain smoker 2-3 packs a day. Not in public of course.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Perhaps I'm odd, but that's honestly the most attractive photo I've ever seen of Jackie. Not the prettiest, but the most appealing.
