Next day the Kennedys took off for Hyannisport. Boarding a helicopter on the White House lawn, Jack had to wait 20 minutes for Jackie. As he sat reading a newspaper in the chopper, Caroline joined him. Then she spied her Russian dog, Pushinka, a gift last summer from Nikita Khrushchev, and bounded across the lawn in pursuit. President Kennedy got out of the helicopter, retrieved his daughter, sent an aide into the White House to see what was delaying his wife, and finally the family departed.
