Patricia Smith and Jackie Kennedy ( hmmn ! )

Patricia Smith, Boston Globe " Hall of Shame " columnist, may

    indeed find herself in the company of American Royality: Jacqueline

    Kennedy Onassis, according to her half sister, Nina Auchincloss, faked

    interviews as the " inquiring photographer " for the Washington Times-

    Herald. " When things were going slowly on the street ... Jackie would

    ask friends and family members to dress up in disguises and be

    INTERVIEWED AS STAND-INS .. "

        According to one reporter, " her looks were her main contribution

    to the newsroom ".

       All this can be read on pages 34 and 35 of the recently published

    biography " Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis " by Ellen Ladowsky.

         I think Jackie Kennedy was a wonderful human being . But she was

    not perfect. This revelation of her questionable journalism does not

    condone Patricia Smith - but makes her downfall seem an " all too human "

    story.
