Ouch - I was afraid somebody was going to say this. And its an apples-and-oranges comparison. Mrs. Reagan essentially had 10 years to prepare for these last few days, while Mrs. Kennedy had only one brief red flash in a motorcade to do the same.
Personally, I would cut Mrs. Kennedy some slack vis a vis these types of comparisons as a result. Just my opinion.
Thank you. Good grief, Jackie was an incredibly strong and classy woman.
I agree that one cannot compare this one and that of JFK.
Jackie was a traumatized young woman and no really complete plans could have been produced. Certainly cutting slack is exactly the gracious thing to do.
In reality there is no way even Jackie's good taste could compare with that of Nancy just based on age and tolerance for tradition.
Then there is the contrast of the quality of the two marriages.
God most literally blessed America with RR.
