Mrs. Kennedy and me

He called her Mrs. Kennedy and she called him Mr. Hill.  For four years, Clint Hill (originally from Washburn, ND) of the Secret Service was assigned to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.  This is a fascinating account of the "inner world" of presidential families and Mrs. Kennedy's wish to live a private life...something nearly impossible for a president's wife.  The account begins with the election of John Kennedy and continues until a year after his death.  During those four years, Clint Hill travels the world with Mrs. Kennedy and develops a close relationship with her.
