She was not the second Marilyn Monroe that she had yearned to become, but at least she was guided and comforted by her agent, her psychiatrist, her lawyer and her nurse...

The president of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, Goodlett describes himself as "an irritant. A pain. But to those who will listen, I'm a catalytic agent for change, a positive force for the reduction of political violence and economic racism in America."
