description: Volume IV Jackie Kennedy (1961–1963). After being lulled into complacency by the Father-Knows-Best Eisenhower administration, Americans are suddenly caught up in the whirlwind of the vivacious Kennedy presidency. Blue-collar workers earn $100 a week. Postage stamps rise from four to five cents and the zip code system begins. We are all mesmerized by Alan Shepard and John Glenn, the Beatles, the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban missile crisis. The Berlin Wall is built in just four days, and Nikita Khrushchev begins testing nuclear bombs in the atmosphere. Volume IV contains comments by each succeeding First Lady (Lady Bird, Pat, Betty, Rosalynn, Nancy, Barbara and Hillary), who also have diaries of their own (Volumes V – XI).
