THE QUIET DIGNITY OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY

A week after her husband was assassinated in Dallas,Jacqueline Kennedyapparently made the decision that would characterizeher public personafor the rest of her life. "I'm not going to be the Widow Kennedy," she told journalist Theodore H. White, in previously unpublished comments released by theJohn F. KennedyLibrary today. "When this is over," she added, "I'm going to crawl into the deepest retirement there is." Excerpts of White's Nov. 29, 1963 interview have been published in Life magazine and his own memoir; the papers are known collectively as the "Camelot Documents" because the Life article marked the first time "Camelot" was linked to the Kennedy Administration in print.
