GUCCI FAMILY SECRET OF MOLESTATION REVEALED BY ALEXANDRA ZARINI

LA TIMES : GUCCI FAMILY SECRET - MOLESTATION 

EXCERPT:  One of Aldo Gucci's granddaughters, Alexandra Zarini, this week spotlighted another horror in the family history with a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Zarini, 35, alleged that from the time she was 6. her former stepfather, Joseph Ruffalo, sexually assaulted her at home in Beverly Hills - abuse that she typically knew was coming when she heard the ice clinking in his glass of scotch as he made his way toward her bedroom, according to court papers.

JUDITH CAMPBELL EXNER VERSUS MONICA LEWINSKY : MUST WE COMPARE THEM? PATT MORRISON DID

LA TIMES : SAGA OF THE POLITICAL PARTY GIRLS from 1998

Well written - creatively written - but do I agree with Patt Morrison, an esteemed journalist and television personality circa 1998?  In this article Patt says Monica Lewinsky seems so much less innocent than Judith Campbell Exner was at the same age. Yet, when I talk to older men they tell me that women in the 1950's were more mature than women of the same age in the 1960's.  She also credits Judith with being far more discreet and not telling about her affair with J.F.K. to just anybody.
