Hi Steve
Mayber her therapist (read that so-called friend who urged her to go public)
told her it would be good for her to mount this campaign to mend her emotional
wounds <TIC>. She seems to have the same type of friend that Monica and
Kathleen had. Monica had Linda Tripp, Kathleen Wiley had the friend with the
letter, and now Paula has the friend who twice urged her to go public with
this. Seems like a pattern here--all have friends who are eager to help. And
now Paula's husband is suing TWA, oh my, the "sue bug" (not you Sue <g>) is
making the rounds in the Jones' house.
