None is strikingly attractive, and as a group they are hardly the sort that older men would invite for a weekend of dalliance. From the beginning, they have intended to go to the inquest. Explains one: "My God, can you imagine what the reaction would be if we refused to attend? The great coverup, right? We'll all be there, if for no other reason than to defend the reputation of Mary Jo." All of the girls were scheduled to spend...
