on it was, in fact, a portrait of Nover who was "a very important person". On another occasion, she publicly prayed for God to strike dead the Baltimore Suns Nancy Schwerzler, whose hair annoyed her. When Los Angeles Times photojournalist Bernie Boston positioned himself in a way that interfered with Nover's attempt to photograph Ronald Reagan and Mother Teresa, Nover began beating him with her umbrella "as President Reagan and Mother Teresa looked on in total amazement". On yet another occasion, during the presidency of Jimmy Carter, Nover – responding to a perceived slight – assaulted the Baltimore Suns Carl Leubsdorf with her purse and then, when he retreated, gave chase. According to The Independent 's Andrew Stephen, he once arrived with George H. W.

Multiple attempts by some members of the White House Press Corps to have Nover's media credentials revoked produced no result. Legacy Following her death, President
