...sexual esteem blossomed when the author became a Manhattan career gal in the swinging '60s. The challenge became learning the difference between love and sex because, fortunately for Friday, "once my looks arrived the opportunities for both multiplied." She trippingly recounts happy sexcapades she experienced while wearing a foam-green Pucci dress, and genuinely seems to wish that all women would permit themselves similarly satisfying sensations, foam-green Pucci or not. The right to feminine satisfaction can extend well into midlife, as Friday proves by describing her romantic first date with and subsequent marriage to Norman Pearlstine, now editor...

On his arrival at Cheney's office, Bandar played his usual Americanized, jaunty fighter-pilot role, drinking coffee from a foam cup and stirring it with a gold pen. Ordinarily, we addressed each other in terms bordering on the obscene, with my printable favorites including "Bandar the Magnificent" and "Bandar, you Arab Gatsby," while he called me "Milord." This day we did not kid around...
