...partnership responsible for the entire building, and the board, after examining his references and his tax forms, can reject him without even troubling to give a reason. Supplicants before a co-op board--people who ordinarily may be contentious or even fearsome--accept this treatment without a peep. Now that characters like Somoza and Trujillo and Stroessner have passed from the scene, Americans who live in other cities may get the impression that the exercise of totally capricious and untrameled power is drying up in this hemisphere, but New Yorkers of a certain station understand that co-op boards will...

Jones later appeared in a vicious video called The Clinton Chronicles, put together by Clinton haters to accuse the President of all manner of implausible crimes. She was dressed in a sort of Little Bo Peep outfit, presumably meant to suggest virginal innocence.
