Geez, I remember a long time reading a book by one of Jackie Kennedy's staff. The woman worked full time night and day, (Mary Barrelli[?] some Italian name as I recall] and so help Me, Jackie (like the true daughter of "the rich") complained because Mary wanted a raise to a grand a month. (And she put in a lot of OT) If memory serves it was just her and Tish Baldridge and maybe a few gals part time.
