Mucci has the dual job description of hairstylist to politicians and entertainers, and ordained minister. Not only has she set Currie's hair in the bob she wears sometimes, but she ministered to her family during their bereavement. Betty is like Job. Job lost his whole family, but he received blessings. Everything was restored back to him at the end.
Restoration can come in many different forms.
Because Currie is among a select group of about 25 influential African American staffers in the White House, her predicament has triggered a protective impulse among blacks who work for the president or once did. She's not a villain by any stretch of the imagination. Over platters of sizzling salmon and General Tso's chicken, the aides discussed how little time they had made for each other, even though they all work in the White House, breathing the same rarefied air. Only at social functions, lamented one staffer, did they come together. But Johnson doesn't know the particulars of Currie's role in Clinton's difficulties.
