Eighteen months ago the F.W.A. set out to select those members with appropriate work experience to be considered for directorships. The purpose of the breakfast was to acquaint the corporate chiefs with some of them. Says Marilyn Brown, 41, also a candidate and president of her own consulting firm: "Our approach is to make ourselves available."

It contains a previously unpublished, 17-year-old interview with Marilyn Monroe and some all too predictable pictures of the likes of Brooke Shields and Princess Caroline (after all, the word cliche means photograph in French).
