George Vecsey on the sports pages of the
New York Times,
February 6, 1994:
By being whacked on the knee, by falling to the ground, by crying
in pain, she has subliminally reminded Boston people of, yes, their
slain Irish prince, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who never got to
perform the triple axels everybody knew were in him. But by
surviving with a certain girlish grace that cannot be totally
taught, even by the wizards of Pro-Serv, Nancy Kerrigan has also
reminded people of, yes, the woman who carried on when the Boston
Irish prince was murdered, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis.
