2. There's mutual blackmail and everything. Politics ain't beanbag, as they used to say...

I'm kinda sorry the author didn't use the fact that ER was named co-respondent in her former boy toy's divorce in 47-48. That would have been fun.

It's a fun book.

3. Thanks!
Glad you liked the book, and thanks for posting! and i did mention old Earl (Chapter 2): "She (Eleanor) had already been named in the divorce papers her bodyguard Earl Miller’s wife filed against him in the 1920’s. She didn’t want to be in that situation again." You know your history!
