Quote

I wanted to know how Jackie felt about [John F. Kennedy], and I got to know Rachel Bunny Mellon. Bunny and her were buddies. I asked, How do you know what Jackie knew? And Bunny said, She told me.... Jackie called him Magic. Bunny said she just picked her man. That was it. This was the guy she loved.
