"Jack was so funny. He insisted we go into the Lincoln bedroom first, and despite his bad back he wanted to carry me across the threshold like like a bride. We got into the bedroom and he dropped me on the bed…Oh, we laughed so, but then, we went over to our bedroom and he picked me up and had trouble getting us both through the door!"

— Jackie Kennedy speaking about the Inauguration night at the White House to Walter Cronkite.

Later that day, after news had gotten out that the senator was on his deathbed, reporters began to congregate at the hospital. Most were contained in the lobby, but one managed to sneak up to Jack’s floor. He confronted Jackie as she was fretting to Ted about her husband’s condition. "Mrs. Kennedy, is it true that your husband is dying?" he asked. Jackie was stunned by the question. Ted turned and, with tears in his eyes, snapped at the reporter, “Look, my brother’s darn sick, that’s all. But he’s going to pull through, you wait and see. His name is Jack Kennedy—Kennedy—and he’s going to pull through. You got that?” Then Ted took Jackie’s hand and led her away. Edward DeBlasio, a writer who tells this story, adds: “The expression in her eyes was one of pure love, for what Ted had said, for what he had done, for how he had helped her in this, her most trying hour.”
