...ransom was recovered from under a bed in an apartment rented by a friend of Byrne's. The tenant was in a hospital at the time and was not a suspect. Also found with the cash was another...
...investigation went on, O'Brien appeared to be a prime suspect despite the fact that he was known in the past to have been fiercely loyal to Hoffa, who had taken him into his family when he was three. The boy's father had just died-O'Brien claims he was killed on a picket line-and the Hoffas were very friendly with the mother, who was working as a union organizer. (She later remarried and started a new life.) Hoffa never formally adopted O'Brien, although he once took out the necessary papers...
...genuine fear that if he relinquished power, the nation would be racked by a renewal of the tribal hostilities that claimed more than a million lives during the fratricidal Biafran war of 1967-70.

And those are just the sort of women that she seems to enjoy writing about most--Bernice Gera, first lady umpire; the housewives whose biggest thrill in life is participating in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. The condescension, even mockery, is almost unavoidable. Even when you suspect she's right on target--when she says that Pat Loud "has made a fool of herself on television, and now she is that Jan Morris has become not a woman but a girl, "and worst of all, a 47-year-old Cosmopolitan girl"--you want to draw back...
