Interviewer Nhu Miller talked to a twelve-year-old boy and his two sisters who said their parents had been persuaded by nuns to turn them over to an orphanage. The children, who survived the C-5A crash near Saigon that killed 200 persons early this month, arrived in San Francisco and were destined to be separated and sent to three different European countries.

When his only son Alexander, 24, died after an air crash in 1973, Onassis' health began to decline rapidly; An and Jackie grew apart, and some of his cronies are convinced that he was prepared to divorce her. His daughter Christina, 24, curtailed her social life to be with her father and involve herself in his complex finances. Jackie apparently may end up with the bare minimum inheritance allowed under Greek law, which governs only part of Onassis' scattered...
