...race. - Her wardrobe newly enhanced with high-fashion goodies from Manhattan's Chez Ninon (see MODERN LIVING), leopard-coated Jacqueline Kennedy emplaned on a commercial jet for her long-awaited goodwill tour of India and Pakistan. First overnight stop: Rome, where thousands braved forbidding chill and rain to cheer her on rounds that included a formal call on President Giovanni Gronchi and an audience with Pope John XXIII, with whom she would converse in French. - Back to Africa bounded Ireland's choleric, keen-witted Conor Cruise O'Brien, 44, the literary critic and critical diplomat...
