White House Tour

By the way, speaking of Mrs. Kennedy's "restoration" of The White House, we can all view the Tour of the White House, featuring Jacqueline Kennedy being interviewed by television journalist Charles Collingwood, aired on two networks in 1962, NOW on YOU TUBE.

What a treat.

There may be a couple of different versions of the tour. When I first checked it, there was a film on there which was very indistinct, and sort of distorted or something -- old film. But now if you type in

A TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE WITH MRS. JOHN F. Kennedy

you will see one version (probably at the top) that says "high quality" -- click on that, up in the right-hand corner it will say "David Von Pein" and there's a small picture of Mr. Von Pein, looking down, thoughtfully.
That is the best quality version of the film on You Tube, to kno knowledge -- in part 3, or 4, or maybe 5, the picture becomes somewhat dark but don't be discouraged -- you can still hear, and the darkness goes away after a while, & you can see just fine.

In the earlier, harder-to-see version of this film footage, viewers had texted in -- as Mrs. Kennedy spoke, in her elegant style, on the historical significance of the various objects, peppering it with anecdotes, one text (I picture it being typed by a 17- or 18-year-old guy) read,

She knows lots of shit.
Quote, end quote.

I appreciated that.
