“Ms. McCarthy, a few hours ago I extended greetings to Miss Harris from Judge Helen Carter. In the course of serving her client’s interest, Miss Harris put her career and her very freedom in jeopardy. She acted in the very highest standards of the legal profession and made us all proud. Her client’s interest was paramount regardless of the cost to herself.“You, Ms. McCarthy, are the polar opposite. You disgust me! You are a disgrace to the profession and your behavior demonstrates perfectly all the things that have brought the legal profession into such ill repute with the general public. Instead of working in your clients’ interest, you worked strictly in your own. To you, a client was nothing more than a cat’s-paw. She served your interest; you certainly never served hers!“You and the foundation you represent claim to be working on behalf of all women. But I find it both alarming and disconcerting that you’re willing to destroy the lives of the women who are your clients in the na

Kim stood up straight, returned his grin and extended her hand. “As one kid just out of school to another, will you shake on that?”Suddenly Hopkins’ eyes widened. Almost under his breath he murmured, “Kimberly Kane...” Then, sounding excited, he added in his normal voice, “You just received your Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Cal Tech, didn’t you?”Then he laughed out loud. “Kim, this is really going to be funny. Are you aware of the fact that Cal Tech is selling your dissertation at a hundred bucks a copy? Because they are. No wonder the university-press people are falling all over themselves to get the book out on the streets. They’ll have the second printing going before the initial printing is even off the presses.”Then with another laugh he added, “This is going to be fun. What’s next?”“‘What’s next’ is I would like to get Chester Klem, the plant manager, and the vice president of manufacturing down here right away.”Again Mark laughed. “Klem will be here in a few moment

At that point, Mark Hopkins spoke before Brad had a chance to. “Jack...” he grinned and interjected, “Since I’m no longer on the payroll, I guess I can call you Jack...” Then he continued, “Miss Kane most assuredly has a pretty face, although to be honest, she’s just plain outrageously beautiful. But she’s something else.”Turning to Klem he said, “Chester, I really think you should address Miss Kane by her more appropriate title. She’s Dr. Kane. More specifically, Dr. Kimberly Ann Kane, BE, ME, Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. Her dissertation is now being published and is scheduled for use in graduate courses in machine-tool design and engineering at both Cal Tech and MIT, although I’m certain it will be used wherever such courses might be offered.“You see, gentlemen, Dr. Kane is considered the world’s foremost authority in the field. And a new line of machine tools solely designed by her is sweeping the entire industry. Single-handedly, she has virtually obsoleted every machine to

“And what’s going on? he asks stupidly,” Jack said with a wry grin. “Pamela Canfield, who is the father? It looks like you’re about to deliver any minute.”“Not till next week, Dad,” she replied insouciantly. “And the father is my husband. Who else would it be?” Then with a look that was as phony as a three-dollar bill she added, “Oops! Maybe I forgot to tell you that I’m now Mrs. Mark Hopkins? And have been for quite a few months now ... almost a year, in fact.”Jack took his daughter into his arms and kissed her lovingly. Then he took Mark’s hand in a congratulatory grip.Trying to change the subject, Pam said, “You asked Mark what he’s doing now, Dad. The answer is he’s looking for a job. And I came in to talk to you about severance arrangements, particularly medical coverage since I’ll be delivering in about a week or less.”“Severance?” Jack asked, baffled. This was news to him.“Mark was fired first thing this morning,” Pam replied.“What happened?” Jack asked Mark.“I got too i

“And I haven’t, so what’s your problem?” Pam retorted. “But you still haven’t answered my question. What brings you in here?” Then to Kim and Brad, she said, “As you’ve probably gathered, this is Betsy Smith, Dad’s secretary. Oh, yeah, that reminds me...” she added. “This ... thing ... who just came barging in is my mother, Diana Canfield. Although,” she added, “her surname wasn’t Canfield when I was either conceived or born. Her maiden name is Chambers, and I wish to hell she would go back to it. Why she and Dad are still married is a puzzle to me.”Kim looked at the three other women with growing amazement. All were about five feet eight with wavy brown hair and green eyes. Aside from Pam’s pregnancy, the only differences were that Diana appeared much softer than the other two — they appeared to be as muscular as Kim herself — and the fact that Betsy Smith did not appear to have yet filled out. Kim wondered how old the girl was.“I ... I have the information you asked me to get,” th

At that, Diana completely broke up. She began to cry her eyes out, but at the same time she was slowly nodding her head.The two younger women just looked at each other. Then Betsy said softly, “No wonder we feel toward each other the way we do. I’m your kid sister!” Then she giggled and added, “I was dumped on the steps of a children’s home in Philadelphia with nothing at all. What’s funny is that I later learned that they almost named me Pamela. Can you believe it? Two sisters with the same name?”“And Mother will regularly be preparing her younger daughter to be fucked by her husband!” Pam exclaimed. “How utterly wonderful!”Then to her mother she said, “Okay, Mom. Strip! Everything goes. From now on you are no longer allowed to wear clothes ... anywhere! Am I clear? Or would you rather visit Tehachapi?”“But how will I get home?” Diana cried.“In the car, naked,” Pam blithely replied. “And you’re such a slut, why would you care? You regularly show everything you’ve got at those so

Douglas punched in a number and waited. When the phone was answered, she had a short conversation which the others couldn’t hear. But they did hear the final words, “Great! Then you’ll be down here in about 20 minutes.”To Kim and Brad she said, “That was my ex, Dan Douglas. He’s a producer and director. For a while now he’s had the film rights to a story that he thinks needs to be told ... And I think it does, too. The problem is the person who controls the rights also has cast approval. And Dan has been totally unable to come close to getting it ... with anyone.”Then reaching over the table, she gripped Kim’s biceps and squeezed, gently at first and then harder. “They’re real, aren’t they?” she commented. “Kimberly Kane, you have to be the most perfectly conditioned female on the face of the earth.” Then she looked puzzled and added, “But why don’t you use your husband’s name?”“Huh?” Kim muttered, utterly shocked.“Use your husband’s name?” Donna repeated.“Primarily because I don

“Anyway, that’s Kelly Jackson.” Dan Douglas shook his head and added, “Her story got a bit of a play at the time, but quickly faded from view. It seems that the mass media rapidly lost interest when it was learned that during her career, Kelly had harmed people! Even killed some, if you can believe such a thing.”With a warm smile he continued, “And it would have stayed that way had Ali Clifford not acquired Alliance. You may remember ‘Ali McGrath movies’.” He grinned and added, “And like George Lucas, she didn’t make ‘films’, she made movies. They never cost much to make but they all just coined money. But what do the hoi polloi know about films? I mean ... Really! And the fact that they all made money just further convinced the Hollywood powers that they were correct. After all, it’s a known fact that a good film can’t make money.“Anyway, it’s fair to say that Ali Clifford has a warm spot in her heart for the U.S. Armed Forces.” He shook his head and added, “And she knowingly sacri
