From nails to Howard Hughes to Mormons

At his death, Howard Hughes employed, among others, a group of 6 men, 5 of whom were Mormon, his executive assistants.  The executive assistants monitored Hughes 24 hours/day and were compensated with high salaries (maybe as much as $110,000/year).  Hughes was a germaphobe and took elaborate precautions to avoid contact with others and things.  When he died, he weighed only 91 lbs....on a 6'4" frame.  He had five broken off hypodermic needles in one of his arms.
