...Tour. Back in Washington next afternoon. Jackie Kennedy, along with some 45 million other Americans, settled down to watch herself in action as guide to CBS's Charles Collingwood on an hour-long White House tour that had been taped a month before. She had refused the services of a CBS makeup artist, wore a wireless microphone around her neck with the pack and battery concealed in the small of her back.

The familiar CBS supporting crew-Eric Sevareid, Douglas Edwards, Charles Collingwood, et al., were smooth, quick and, in the case of Nancy Hanschman, pretty.
