...depends on what sort of a cabinet she chooses. If she goes with the professionals who know what it takes to get the economy back into gear, that will be encouraging. What will be incredibly discouraging will be if she starts appointing the cronies of her businessman husband in key economic positions. It's too early to tell which way she's going to go.

It was the tale of a fretful rich girl who married the dazzlingly brilliant Philip Graham. It was her father who owned the Washington Post, but her husband was given majority control of the paper on the theory that no man should ever work for his wife. When she found the manic-depressive Graham dead of a gunshot wound in the bathroom of their country house in 1963, this "doormat wife" at 46 was thrust into running the company...
