Great writing and analysis, Claire. Thank you. Is there any literary or historical model? Puts Don Giovanni in the shade. Or is he, like T, a phenomenon of our America?

Epstein was a seductive depraved monster Who knew how to find, groom and collect people- young women for trafficking, others for money, Courtiers, people to blackmail, and the larger the web, the more people he knew to traffick, extort and blackmail. (I have a friend who knew him when he taught at Dalton). And you-know-whose-name is all over it. And the variety of bugs in his web (look at the resent revelations about those in the arts) went to him for money, introductions, access (to yoiung women ,luxury and other important bugs in the web.
