Martha is a TV celebraty in the states. She is an entrapenure of home decorating; who started out with a catering business in her kitchen.

I love her TV show, she has wonderful taste and ideas. There is always something interesting. No one, of course, is able to do all of these things. So Martha generates waves of envy from her viewers. Of course she is clever enough to enlist teams of helpers to create these results. In ancient times, they may have been called slaves.

Read a nasty book about her years ago called 'Just Deserts'_.

I have worked for women something like Martha, but none so sucessful. She developed a billion dollar business. She had her own magazine. What she sold was style. She really is brilliant and accomlished.

Many people do not like her. She will not autograph copies of her books when she is tired, even though customers wait in long lines for her to do so. It is things like this that many do not like.

Oprah Winphry is another TV celebratie icon. If the same thing happened to Oprah, no one would think of sending her to jail.

What was Martha's crime? She got out of the stock market befor it crashed. The feds acquised her of an insider trade deal. She claimed it was always her policy to sell when the stock reached a certain point.

What did Martha do befor she became a domestic goddess? She was a New York stockbroker.
