"I'm an ordinary person who was thrust into extraordinary circumstances," she told me, describing her role in the epochal events in her life--her marriage to the most famous man on earth, the "Crime of the Century," blazing air routes, the debate over America's isolationism. Because she considered no experience complete until she had written about...
