...right brain spins the story this way: it is poetic justice. A highly paid political prostitute, Dick Morris, comes to grief in the arms of an expensive hooker in Washington--a perfect moral fit. The case almost accidentally opens a door upon a disturbing side of American politics--not Dick Morris' character (who cares?) so much as the larger drama of American political manipulation in 1996, and a general atmosphere of sleaze that even the canned floral scents of "family values" cannot perfume...

Such a person was Arthur Benjamin, my teacher in Philadelphia, where I stayed in 1991. I was paralyzed upon seeing his photograph in Time among the victims of the 747 crash.
