    Hot controversy: Fetching coffee for the boss - By Jane M. Von Bergen, Philadelphia Inquirer
    Audrey Jackson, an administrative assistant at an engineering firm in Center City, doesn't mind the coffee.

    'I would do anything for my boss except sleep with him, because he's married,' she said.

    Edward J. Coryell, head of the carpenters' union in Philadelphia, never asked his longtime assistant for coffee, even when he drank it.

    But his assistant, Maureen McGovern, sometimes finds herself bringing coffee to visitors.

    'I'm not opposed to it, but I don't like it,' she said. 'If it's black, that's an easy one, but I'm not doing any skinny mocha lattes with soy.'
