April 14, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): Former first lady of America, Jacqueline Kennedy, commonly recognized as Jackie Kennedy, is in the limelight again. The US publisher Hyperion desires to release, in September 2011, a book anchored in seven interviews by the former first lady in the early months of 1964. These interviews were with the historian, previous presidential aide and her family buddy, Arthur Schlesinger.

The interviews that were kept preserved until now will be issued by the command of Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline, to mark the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the commencement of the Kennedy presidency in 1961. In a declaration, Caroline Kennedy pronounced, “My mother’s passion for history guided and informed her work in the White House. She believed in my father, his vision for America, and in the art of politics.” The book, which is yet to be supplied a title, will come with six hours of audiotapes, in which Jacqueline Kennedy’s celebrated tone will be heard again.

The interviews included in the book divulge that President John F Kennedy desired to run for a second term in office before he got murdered in 1963. In the book, Jacqueline Kennedy, one of America’s most well-liked and fashionable women, also converses about parenthood and her role as the First Lady.

After the assassination of JFK, Jacqueline was linked passionately by the press to a few men, particularly, David Ormsby-Gore and Roswell Gilpatric. She tied the knot with Aristotle Onassis, a well-heeled Greek shipping magnate in 1968. The marriage with him supplied Jacqueline and her children with the solitude and security they desired.
