 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | America promises to keep flame alive for Jackie Onassis
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was laid to rest in the grave beside her first husband at the national shrine of Arlington cemetery, where the eternal flame which she had lit 30 years ago is sited to flicker in the White House windows across the river.
In the shadow of a granite plinth etched with Kennedy's phrase, 'Now the trumpet summons us again', and flanked by her wayward first husband and their two dead infant children, she was buried to a brief address by President Clinton.
Among these elderly best and brightest, the former defence secretary, Robert McNamara, might have remembered the time when Jackie Kennedy would have nothing to do with the military, beating furiously on his chest at the height of the Vietnam war and sobbing 'Stop the killing'.

To understand Jackie on her own terms, Anthony conducted exhaustive interviews with an impressive collection of Jackie's friends, family members, and colleagues -- many of whom speak here about her publicly for the first time -- and drew upon rarely published but quite revealing autobiographical accounts.
A couple of quotes about her intelligence are one thing, but on practically every page we are told how Jackie was an expert on this subject, how she knew so much about this or that, and how much more enlightened she was than the rest of Americans.
I would recommend that any Jackie fan read this, as there is so much to it that would help one to understand Jackie's taste, her environments and different things she did thoughout her life.
