Aristotle Onassis was a born orator, and Jackie Kennedy would sit and listen to him spin off tales and stories-often racy-by the hour. A speaker of seven languages, he could keep a dinner party of some of the world's most sophisticated conversationalists spellbound. Even Jackie couldn't help but drop her reserve and laugh with him.
