Review of Jackie OnassisThis is a great example of how different two peoples stories can be; it has a husband and wife being interviewed about an exact story that should be the same but since Tamar says that the husband isn't their. This is a hilarious story; the reporter does a great job of editing the story together and interviewing the people. There is really no way to make this story much better. |

Review of Jackie Onassis
I think everyone has had the same experience and can relate to both the characters and the situation. Very humorous.
