Mrs. Kennedy's social secretary was recently interviewed by CNN about the show and she mentioned that in '62 & '63, with skirts inching up, Mrs. Kennedy was criticized for following the trend and showing her knees. A photo from '63 was produced of Jackie in one of the dresses that had come under fire and it got gales of laughter because it is so tame by standards now - the hem was only to mid-kneecap! Still, as her secretary explained when the First Lady sat down, it crept up a bit and revealed the whole knee which was thought disgraceful. Gee, to think a whole knee; for shame! Boy things have changed! Randy [/QUOTE]
