"This is Boom-Town-on-the-Potomac for secretaries. For every 'Mr. Big' in Government and Business there is a 'Miss Little' who backs up the boss. From the hills of New England, from Southern plantations, Midwest prairies, and the slopes of California, thousands of 'typewriter jockeys' have arrived on our wide avenues. Without them, the Government's business would collapse and most bureaucrats would go home." -- Marjorie Binford Woods, The Washington Post, April 28, 1946

Nazi Secretaries History Project? Don't laugh.
Interesting story in The Daily Beast yesterday titled, "Secrets of Nazi Secretaries." It's based on an interview the German magazine, Der Bild, conducted with Brunhilde Pomsel, Joseph Goebbels’s former secretary. Now 100, she has broken a 66-year vow of silence and shares memories of working for her old boss.
