![]() ![]() That's nice nice to see a young girl who honors and respects her dead father. She regularly goes to Arlington Cemetery to honor him, seek his presence and consolation. Not only that, but she reveres her father, who was killed in the service. ![]() Ollie could probably plug a boar with the best of 'em. ![]() She's a cook, an artist, and still she likes to shoot! Good deal - a nascent Sarah Palin, right there. Ollie got her first "Atta girl!" from me when she unabashedly went out to the firing range to practice - now remember, Ollie is not a PI, she's not a detective, not in law enforcement. But okay, this is fiction, for crying out loud! It doesn't have to echo real life - and there were so many more things to really like about this book I couldn't stop listening. Now that part of the plot doesn't seem so far fetched at all. ![]() And right, one would assume that security in the White House would be a whole lot better than it was in this book - or at least one WOULD have assumed that, up until the several recent and very serious breaches of security have made the headlines. At least in these post-JFK days, cooking ability has very little to do with it. No winsome young white heterosexual lass like Ollie would ever be hired as the White House Chef - that's a patronage position, and would go to someone with political clout, or as a bow to some interest group. ![]()
