My Makeup Wasn't Smeared, I

When I Say We've Had An Ideal Marriage, I'm Not Just Talking About Physical Attraction, Which I Can Imagine Can Wear Pretty Thin If It's All A Couple Has Built On. We've Had That And A Whole Lot More.

When Other Women Have This Same Operation, It Doesn't Make Any Headlines. But The Fact That I Was The Wife Of The President Put It In Headlines And Brought Before The Public This Particular Experience I Was Going Through. It Made A Lot Of Women Realize That It Could Happen To Them. I'm Sure I've Saved At Least One Person Maybe More.

My Makeup Wasn't Smeared, I Wasn't Disheveled, I Behaved Politely, And I Never Finished Off A Bottle, So How Could I Be Alcoholic?

What Man Could Afford To Pay For All The Things A Wife Does, When She's A Cook, A Mistress, A Chauffeur, A Nurse, A Baby-sitter? But Because Of This, I Feel Women Ought To Have Equal Rights, Equal Social Security, Equal Opportunities For Education, An Equal Chance To Establish Credit.

You Can Make It, But It's Easier If You Don't Have To Do It Alone.
