...triumphal procession. There they stand on top of the world as though it were their wedding cake: Jack and Jackie the glass of feminine fashion and the mold of masculine form, the prince and princess of a political fairy tale that surely was not meant to have an unhappy ending. "Stop!" the spectator cries silently. "Stop before it's too late!" Impossible. They are in the car, and already it is turning into Elm Street, into the sunlit circle of Oswald's telescopic sight...
