The casket is in the corridor. I went in the small private room to see Mrs. Kennedy, and though it was a very hard thing to do, she made it as easy as possible. She said things like, 'Oh, Lady Bird, we've liked you two so much. ... Oh, what if I had not been there. I'm so glad I was there.' "I looked at her. Mrs. Kennedy's dress was stained with blood. One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked, it was caked with blood - her husband's blood. Somehow that was one of the most poignant signs - that immaculate woman exquisitely dressed, and caked in blood." Now 90, Johnson lives in Austin. She has recovered her physical strength after suffering a stroke in May 2002, but remains unable to speak clearly, says her press secretary, Becky Tilson. "She hasn't given up," Tilson said. "She still has a wonderful outlook on life."
