------------------ [excerpt] ---------- Harriet Rubin, who would later become one of Jackie's editorial colleagues and is now a successful author, described her impact on the company:  

"Her becoming an editor was a tremendous vindication of the struggling book business.  I think she regarded books as a form of magic.  

Temples are built upon scrolls and sacred texts, and she was going to produce modern magic formulas for opening people's minds, for revealing hidden wisdom."
