You know IIRC in the Kitty Kelly bio of Nancy Reagan it was said that one of
Nancy's strict DEMANDS was that all the ads had to be torn our of all her
magazines, WOE to the assistant that made a mistake! She also had to get
her copy of _Women's Wear Daily_ EVERY day wherever she was in the world, at
times Air Force planes were dispatched to some distant place she was
visiting solely so she get her _WWD_ on time...
