"Jacqueline Kennedy looked up to her socially. President Kennedy counted on her good taste to design the Rose Garden. Rachel 'Bunny' Mellon lived in a world ardently protected by discreet guards, long driveways, and noble family retainers. Thanks to Meryl Gordon we get past them."

—Chris Matthews, anchor, MSNBC's Hardball, and author of Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero
