Youth has come to live at the White House for a minimum period of four years, with option of renewal from us, the voters and the landlords.
Probably nowhere in the world could the images of Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, presently of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., U.S.A., be more appreciated than in youth-worshipping America— which spends annual billions of dollars fortifying itself against graying hair, crow's-feet, middle-age spread. And more billions on beauty parlors, health farms, diet foods, plastic surgery and reducing pills. Even the President himself, cognizant of the appraising eyes of the nation, admits to going on a strict diet for several days before each of his televised press interviews.

Although in her early thirties, she might be almost any one of the teenagers who emulate her. Walk along a city street and you will find yourself passing a stream of replicas of Jacqueline Kennedy. Some of them are fairly successful imitations, more of them are not. The majority border on the grotesque.
And still they come! Ladies in pill-box hats. Ladies in over-size coiffeurs on exactly the wrong heads. Tall girls in further elongating shifts. Reproductions of Jacqueline Kennedy ( Continued on page 78)
