“The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl.... She was the last great private public figure in this country.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

“The sable presbyters approach
The avenue of penitence;
The young are red and pustular
Clutching piaculative pence.”
