Jeffrey Epstein and Mysteries of Modern Life
L
et’s start with jeffrey epstein. this man was a junior high school teacher at an exclusive private day school for young women about 25 years ago. As such, he earned a modest sum. By some means, only
about 10 years later he was apparently a billionaire with a private jet, many lavish homes, and his own private island in the Caribbean to which he brought teenage girls for sex. As far as I know, he was not a stock market genius, not
a member of an organized crime family, and did not win the Powerball Lottery. Yet somehow, he had an endless
fortune. This he used to solicit young women to his world and have his way with them. He also used them as bait for other men. Where did the money come from?
I am sure someone knows. But if it’s been published, I have not seen it. If someone out there reading this knows the answer, please let me know. Closely related, Epstein died in
prison in August 2019. He supposedly died by hanging himself from a bedpost only a few inches from his cell floor. He had been sharing his cell at a
religion, anti-Republican. To work on this book, which garnered a lot of attention
when it came out in about 1979, involved my interviewing a number of top dogs in the entertainment agency business. One of them, head of a powerhouse agency called

conversation. She also stole dozens of blank checks from
prison known for housing especially violent men, but his roommate was out of the cell for only a short time (supposedly). A guard supposedly detailed to watch Epstein for suicide prevention was only out of his post briefly for rest. Yet somehow, Epstein managed to commit suicide. My wife, not I, is an expert in crime and intrigue. I’m an
expert in financial fraud. I have been offered large sums to help extremely rich men and women not get looted by fraudsters. No one ever offered me enough to buy a really good chocolate milkshake, let alone a private jet. Where did Epstein’s money come from? Slightly, but only slightly related, why do so few men
and women in my “circle” have meaningful romantic lives?
Decades ago, I wrote a book called The View From Sunset Boulevard. It was about how almost all Hollywood products in the way of movies and television have a left-wing bias: anti-business, anti-military, anti-

me and forged them to her credit. My loss was about $40K.
William Morris, was kind enough to take my question about how an agency gets top-notch clients. He gave me a super-smart answer: We get talented, trustworthy men and women. We treat them with respect, and they stay with us for decades. I had a similar colloquy with the legendary Michael Ovitz about 20 years later as we were both dining at the world’s most wonderful restaurant, Morton’s on Melrose (not Morton’s The Steakhouse). “We take people we like and trust,” he said.

ust a few days ago, I sat with my psychiatrist, three times married
and now single, and asked him the same questions. “There are just no single women
out there I find intelligent and appealing,” he said. “They don’t have to be beautiful, like your wife,” he added. “But they have to have something to say.”
My wife and I have been married since 1968. She’s a
goddess. So, now where are we? We have a severe labor shortage
in America. And we also have a severe shortage of both men and women who have something to say, who can carry on a conversation, who can be trusted. About 10 years ago, I met a young, startlingly beautiful
woman who could carry on a conversation. She also stole dozens of blank checks from me and forged them to her credit. My loss was about $40K. I believe I got almost all back from my bank. Incredibly,
she still calls me from her jail cell and tells me how much she misses me. So, she’s not really what I am looking for, and anyway, I plan to be with my wife for eternity. But what about all the single people thinking that life
has passed them by? My heart breaks for them. These are indeed strange times.
