...With white frangipani blossoms in her hair, Princess Bopha Devi, Sihanouk's stunningly beautiful daughter and star of the ballet, led ten dancers in a re-enactment of Cambodian legends, and the Prince, enchanted by his guest, bubbled with jeu d'esprit. Jackie, in a lime green gown edged with silver to match her shoes, bantered with him in French and seemed to enjoy the occasion as much as he did.

...East Coast, she attended services at the New Hope church, then drove her Mercedes into Manhattan to conduct her own kind of revival meeting at the Copacabana. Her songbook is a primer course in variety and good taste. Tall and wickedly curvy in a snug, deep-dish gown, she swoops down into gutsy little growls for Walk On By, soars up into high, hallelujah quavers for What the World Needs Now Is Love...
