Jackie Kennedy does want to be first, has worked hard to stay there. Both she and Jack have a rare zest for parties, and she has an even rarer knack for making them click. She is a perfectionist who frets over floral settings and menus for even the smallest dinners, but the big ones bring out the best in her. Her extravaganzas are the talk of the Western world-a sunset cruise down the Potomac for 138, a floodlit lawn party at Mount Vernon, a roomtul of Nobel laureates waltzing over the parquet White House floors...
...furious husband of Anais, who endures a visit by Fadinard (in search of the hat) and all his relatives (who mistakenly think they are at Fadinard's house and prepare the bride for the conjugal bed). Mills starts out in grand style but loses some of his zest as the act progresses...

Painters like Arthur Devis -one of the comparative unknowns brought to prominence by the Mellon Collection-caught them thus, just as the landscapists "depicted England at its best, at the perfect moment before the outrages on her beauty began...
...brains. You can't beat brains." New Frontiersmen may not all have the best brains in the world -but they put up a mighty good show. They can reel off facts and figures about complex issues without ever consulting a note. They approach their jobs with a youthful zest that is almost gung-ho. They love to talk of their official travels, always by jet and generally to some far-off land. They may make mistakes-but they make them efficiently...
