The tabloid responded by self-righteously publishing what its editors say is shots from a videotape of Frank Gifford's tryst with a 46-year-old consultant...
...forming or, failing that, to off the competition. Curiously enough, Grocer and his henchmen blend quite easily into the suburban scene. Grosse Pointe may have grander homes and less snow than, say, Fargo, but spiritually they are sister cities--places where everyone tries to maintain an air of chipper blandness in the face of postmodernism's disorder...
