There were no kind words for the Attorney General's 30-year-old rival: "Teddy Kennedy seeks his party's nomination for the Senate simply because he is the brother of the President. He knows as well as you and I that were he not a coat-tail candidate his name would receive no consideration from any political body for such a high office as he seeks.

Almost proudly, she rattles off their names-Balaam, Isacaaron, Behemoth, Gressil, Dog's Tail, Amon, Leviathan, and Asmodeus, demon of lust. Asmodeus, of course, possesses many women. But Joan (Lucyna Winnicka) is no common wench: she is the mother superior in a Roman Catholic convent of Ursuline nuns...
