...antagonistic thoughts that spar in her brain and lock there like chain mail. And look, will you, at what she's done--she has used analysis in precisely the same way that she uses men: as a crutch for her own queasy personal indentity to steady itself and steer by.

Begon surfaced in Rome last week, told skeptical police that he had indeed been kidnaped by the Mafia, spirited to the U.S. and released only after he had promised to steer clear of future Mafia stories.
