She describes Rose Kennedy's clothes and style, skill as a campaigner, and routines on the campaign trail. She speaks about watching the second presidential debate between Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon on television with Rose Kennedy in a hotel bar, and about Rose Kennedy playing piano and singing "Sweet Adeline" at a reception.
