“The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl.... She was the last great private public figure in this country.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

Was humbly born in a stable rude,
And the friendly beasts around Him stood,
Jesus our brother, strong and good.
“I”, said the donkey, shaggy and brown”
