Responding to his friend New York City Center producer Jean Dalrymple, Laemmle apologizes for not replying sooner as his "secretary has not been here". He goes on to congratulate Jean for the "great success of Jose's 80th birthday. I'm sure it took a lot of hard work" [referring to the vistuoso pianist Jose Iturbi, a close friend of Jean Dalrymple's].

Rose Mary [Woods] (1917-2005) was Nixon's private secretary from 1951 until the end of his political career in 1974, and she became a close family friend. She was fiercely loyal, and more - as the 'Washington Post' obituary put it, 'Miss Woods was Nixon's gatekeeper. Reporters said she controlled who could see her boss - and punished those she deemed critical'. The 'New York Times' (25 December 2005) takes up the baton: 'Woods's outsize allegiance burst the confines of the Oval Office when, after a career spent discreetly in the background, she achieved precisely 18 [and a half] minutes of hideous, disfiguring fame.

Woods made the cover of "Time" in December 1973 not as a supremely competent woman behind the throne, let alone the first female chief of staff, but as the hapless executive secretary of a pathetic and criminal cover-up'.
