Notes for a book proposal: How to Bring Down Bill Clinton, by Linda R. Tripp. Part 1: Befriend a young woman who has caught the President's wandering eye.

Once thought extinct, it can turn inside out, and hide in a cloak of itself. If one doubts the range of nature's imagination--or sense of humor--picture a Vampyroteuthis staring into a self-created darkness, 3,000 ft. below the surface, while nearer shore, an otter snacks...
...doubt that Her Deepness is thinking about any of that. You have to love the ocean before you are moved to save it. She stares out at her world where tuna roar, groupers have attitudes and the Vampyroteuthis infernalis stares back with its God's blue eye, and winks...
