That is a truly interesting story of Martha's brother. Thanks for sharing...

Little Martha Kostyra was one of six kids born, Byron writes, to a mother who was a ''coldly disengaged housewife'' and a ''self-absorbed narcissist'' father.

I want it to be understood that these are things I experienced firsthand.

However, my daughter who is now twelve and getting to be fairly wise in the ways of the world, went to Alabama with her mother for a visit last Christmas, and stayed with my former sister-in-law and her (and Frank's) daughter. The little girl talked about her "Aunt Martha" and "my daddy" incessantly, and her mother said to my ex-wife (in my daughter's hearing), "yeah, right, they act like she's not even alive."

I was not there, of course, and didn't see or hear any of this, but that's what my daughter tells me.

''coldly disengaged housewife'' and a ''self-absorbed narcissist'' ... sounds like the clintoons
