When the aircraft landed at Andrews at dusk, the MATS terminal was blazing with floodlights. President and Mrs. Johnson waited inside while a yellow cargo lift lumbered out to the plane's rear door. Uniformed pallbearers struggled to shift the heavy casket from the plane to the lift. Robert Kennedy met Jackie at the door, helped her to the ground. Officials motioned Jackie toward a black Cadillac, but she insisted on staying with the casket.

Their 22 stores, selling everything from pins to pickup trucks, have prospered from Patagonia's oil boom; 600,000 sheep fatten on their vast ranches. In a holding company named La Josefina (after their mother), the family has impressive investments in Argentine banking, insurance and chemical companies.
