I'm not sure that Jackie Kennedy lost her children while living in the White House. Elucidation much appreciated!

And yes, winning the election on a '00 seems a bit hazardous.

I especially like the last one, since MM was dead for over a year when Kennedy was assassinated. So unless he dug her up from the grave, it would have been pretty tough to have been with her a week before he was shot.
