While at George Washington University, Kennedy Onassis won a twelve-month junior editorship at "Vogue" magazine allowing her to work for six months in the magazine's New York City office and spending the remaining six months in Paris. The trip was the reason why she wrote her only autobiography, "One Special Summer". After "Vogue", she began working for the "Washington Times-Herald", where editor Frank Waldrop hired her as a part-time receptionist. In 1952, she was briefly engaged to a young stockbroker named John Husted and broke-off the engagement because he was "boring".
