...version of the book-overcome by her loss, but not immersed in bathos. From the coffin she took a lock of Kennedy's hair, writes Manchester, and as she left the East Room she was "swaying visibly." She righted herself and, "beyond consolation, wrenched by a torsion of pain," she managed to retain "the sense of purpose which had kept her going for two days...
