Shrnutí:Since then, there have been allegations that [Bess Myerson] hired the daughter of state Supreme Court Justice Hortense W. Gabel in exchange for Gabel's leniency in the divorce case of Myerson's boyfriend, contractor Carl A. Capasso. And they have been compounded by evidence that Myerson engaged in what [Edward I. Koch] has termed "erratic" behavior seven years ago after the breakup of another relationship. In that case, a report to Koch in 1980 showed that Myerson made abusive telephone calls and sent anonymous letters to the financial investor with whom she had been involved. Dismissing the matter as "personal" and "a lovers' quarrel," Koch chose to overlook the police report on Myerson and in 1983 named his old friend and political supporter to the cultural commission. The book is a "collaborative effort," [Esther Margolis] said, based on extensive interviews with Myerson and written "with the cooperation of Bess." Though bearing the name of novelist/playwright/nonfiction writer [Susan Dworkin] on its cover, "Bess' voice is throughout the book," Margolis said.
