...easily impressed by high school types, and the more self-effacing on the application the better. And, if you don't get into one, don't let it shatter your self-esteem; chances are the decisions were made in haste or randomly.

...large mirror over the big king-sized bed, the houseboat would double as headquarters for SAPPHIRE because it was from there that our prostitutes were to operate. They were not to work as hookers but as spoiled, rich, beautiful women who were only too susceptible to men who could brag convincingly of the importance of what they were doing at the convention. The bedroom would be wired for sound...
