Story
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Nancy Tuckerman were friends over seven decades. Nancy almost never talked to people writing books about Jackie. She made an exception for me because I was working with her former colleagues. She and I met for the first time at the Red Lion Inn on a cold day in February. She was wearing a plain brown sweater and hiding behind a newspaper. At first she was stiff with me. But at lunch the young waiter poured her a cold cup of coffee. When he stepped away, we both laughed. That was how we began a friendlier and franker conversation that lasted 10 years.

Story
Everyone knows that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was married to two of the 20th century’s most powerful men: John F. Kennedy and Aristotle Onassis. Lesser known are the five incredible years between those marriages, when she was on her own. Jackie tells that story - the story of a woman who was globally famous, and yet utterly enigmatic.

Story
When Ann Woodward shot her husband, banking heir Billy Woodward, in the middle of the night in 1955, her life changed forever. Though she claimed she thought he was a prowler, few believed the woman who had risen from charismatic showgirl to popular socialite. Everyone had something to say about the scorching scandal afflicting one of the most rich and famous families of New York City, but no one was more obsessed with the tale than Truman Capote.

Story
Aristotle Onassis often said, "They say I have no class. Fortunately, people with class are usually willing to overlook this flaw because I am very rich. You can't buy class, but you can buy tolerance for its absence." This is exactly what Aristotle Onassis did with his life when he purchased a dilapidated Canadian frigate of warlike mien with no pretensions to grandeur whatsoever.

Story
Dana Brown was a 21-year-old college dropout playing in punk bands and partying his way through downtown New York’s early-'90s milieu when he first encountered Graydon Carter, the legendary editor of Vanity Fair. After the two had a handful of brief interactions (mostly with Brown in the role of cater waiter at Carter’s famous cultural salons he hosted at his home), Carter saw what he believed to be Brown’s untapped potential, and on a whim, hired him as his assistant
Publisher's Summary
These last two stories in the series are about Jackie's relationship with two rare people. One took me to his club, where Jackie and Brooke Astor were among the first female members. The other told me about accompanying Jackie to India, where together with her husband they travelled as a threesome.
7 - Jackie consulted Francis Mason when she wanted to change jobs after her unhappy time at Viking. He made an effort to take her to visit art publishers where he knew she'd be happy. Then she rejected his advice. Did he bear a grudge? The story of why he didn't is what makes him a fascinating man.
8 - Edith Welch gave me a behind-the-scenes account of traveling with Jackie on Indian adventures. She also wanted to talk to me about high-class prostitutes who may be admired but never possessed.
These are two short nonfiction accounts of interviews I did with longterm friends of Jackie's. I went away more impressed with these members of Jackie's circle than I'd expected. Each of them was skilled at weaving me into the conversation before I knew what was happening.
