I'm not Onassis, although I'd rather fancy his barstools - covered in 
leather made from whales' scrota. I wonder has The Donald thought of getting 
those? Now a camera case made from same - Moby, here Moby...

Anyway Dan, your post reminded me of the anecdote related by the late Gough 
Whitlam - former Australian PM - about his meeting with China's Mao. Whitlam 
asked Mao the following question: "If Mr. Khrushchev had been assassinated 
instead of President Kennedy, would anything have changed?' Mao thought 
carefully and replied, 'I don't think Mr Onassis would have married Mrs 
Khrushchev'.
