Belly Dancers. After the honeymoon, the marriage was filled with what one intimate of Ari's called "the nights of long silences." Jackie loved concerts, ballet and theater; Onassis preferred raucous bouzouki music, belly dancers and at times the company of roistering Greek businessmen. Much of the time they lived separate lives; Jackie had visited her husband, who had been in the hospital for five weeks, a few days earlier but was in New York City last week at the time of his death. When they were both in Manhattan, she resided with her children Caroline and John...
Despite marriage, politics still dominated Jackson. Characteristically, he interrupted his honeymoon to attend a naval briefing at Pearl Harbor. But his wife brought new grace and style to his life, though he still wears undistinguished suits and black wingtip shoes, and drives a 1961 Chevrolet. The Jacksons own two houses, one in Washington's fashionable Spring Valley, the other a large house in Everett that was once the home of a banker who was the richest and most powerful man in town when Jackson was a boy-a bit of symbolism much appreciated by the Senator's friends...

When a prominent Republican returned to his native state of Indiana, he discovered a surprising amount of unhappiness with Ford among his "natural and visceral supporters." Noted the Republican: "When the small businessmen of Indiana question his ability, he's got a real problem." Complained a friend...
Syria's President Hafez Assad and Lebanon's President Suleiman Franjieh met briefly in the Lebanese town of Chtoura, a honeymoon resort that is the local equivalent of Niagara Falls. The setting was significant: though their discussions concerned the situation with Israel, the meeting was the first formal summit between leaders of the two often contentious neighbors since 1947. Franjieh reportedly refused to allow Syrian troops inside his country short of an all-out Israeli assault, and agreed only to "military coordination" with Damascus. Even Israeli diplomats decided that the meeting had temporarily lessened tension along the northern...
