Mayor Daley

 Typing in yesterday's blog post, it came to mind at the end, that Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy had other connections with people involved in the conventions of 1968.

Gore Vidal, as a commentator - happened to be related to Jackie by marriage.  His mother was married at some point to Hugh D. Auchincloss.  Later, Auchincloss was married to Jackie and Lee Bouvier's mother, Janet.

        What does that make Jackie and Gore Vidal? - step-cousins...?

Then - let's focus on Mayor Daley - during the Democratic National Convention of 1976, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, by then an editor at a publishing house, tracked down Mayor Daley and spoke to him about possibly doing a book detailing his life and career.

        He was happy to see her, and wanted to be very cordial, but all he said in reply was, "I'll look into it."

Was any other word or effort ever spoken or made, by Mayor Daley, toward a book about his life, published by Jackie, or by anyone else...?

Oh - nooooooooooo.

lol.

He wasn't gonna take the lid off of that can of worms....

"I'll look into it." ...   ...

JFK; Gore Vidal; Jackie
