...wonders, would people think he might have invented such a story? The public attitude, of course, is to wonder why Kennedy left so many odd details-such as the swim to Edgartown-unexplained. In private, Kennedy also marvels that anyone could imagine him so stupid as to attend a sex orgy in his own state, accompanied by a middle-aged chauffeur and girls from his own and his late brother's staff...
...commonly accepted sense: a good half of them, at least, were high school or college students from middle-class homes.

Neither dumb enough nor callous enough to be a mere commodity, she is nevertheless badly equipped to deal with that old dilemma-how to sell yourself and save yourself at the same time. Sex equals money equals power seems to be a simple enough show-business equation. But even in this crocodile world, as Renek shows, personal feelings and gestures intruding at the wrong time suddenly shift the balance of power-a smile of appreciation at an inopportune stage of contract negotiations...
