Without question,
without hesitation, but not with good conscience. His visit to her
and his carefully chosen words concerning his knowledge
of her life-style had left no doubt remaining that
the threat of exposure was real.
Diana found out early on that it would be unwise to place
too much confidence in the judicial system. She discovered
that a court cares nothing about right or wrong, good or bad.
It cares only about what the law is, can you prove it,
and who proves it in the most entertaining manner.
The Attorney General had told Diana that an additional hazard
was that this was a civil rights case--sex discrimination.
The current federal administration had knocked the hell out of
most of the laws pertaining to sex or age discrimination
and greatly weakened any remaining. The EEOC was acting like
a toothless pussy cat under the direction of a staunch Reagan\Bush
conservative whose payoff would be a seat on the Supreme Court.
However, for all its drawbacks, it was the only game in town.
A choice, instead of giving up. Besides, Diana was overwhelmed
with the magnitude of support in the form of cold cash from the
university community and alumni.
