The story in Saturday’s “County by county” pages in The Dallas Morning News was brief and sort of buried: Caroline Kennedy would be appearing at the Highland Park Library next Friday at 5 to discuss her new book, Poems to Learn by Heart. Tickets would be $175 and would include a signed copy of Kennedy’s book, the article said.
Wow. Caroline Kennedy in Dallas—on the 50th anniversary of her father’s assassination, appearing at a public library no less? Seemed interesting but weird, since Kennedy has never made a public appearance in Dallas and even turned down a request to be interviewed by newsman Charlie Rose in January at the Winspear Opera House.
The mystery was cleared up in Sunday’s paper, when The News wrote under Corrections & Clarifications that it had been wrong about Kennedy’s appearance at the Highland Park Library next Friday. Then it added: “She is scheduled to visit a public library that day in Highland Park, Ill.”
