...House leaders are among the least entertaining folks in Washington. They constitute a sort of vestigial Biplane Set, taking their social life at a less frenetic pace than the jet-setters of the capital's party-go-round. Society columns vibrate to the tempo of glittering embassy dinners, chic Georgetown cocktail parties and white-tie soirees at the White House-but few of Congress's leaders are there.

...acquaintances of Jackie's would quibble with the general thrust of My Life. Her acquisitive bent was well known, and since John Kennedy's death she has spent much time shopping, partying, lunching at chic restaurants and roaming the world in search of pleasure. But the Gallagher article was overdrawn and one-sided. "There isn't a secretary in the world who couldn't do this to her boss," complains one of the old Kennedy inner circle. The problem is finally whether or not to betray good taste and personal ethics, especially since Mrs. Gallagher signed...
