As for Jeffrey Epstein, one question that might be worth ask- ing is, if he's in fact a narcissist and megalomaniac, could he actually believe that he's innocent? Then again, that might be the wrong question. Epstein did plead guilty, after all. But what if he simply doesn't see what he pleaded to as a crime? What if he's proud of his lifestyle? And if that's the case, why wouldn't Prince Andrew be proud to be seen in public with his dear friend Jeffrey Epstein?

What if, for people like Epstein and the prince, it's just ser- vants and masters, the way of the world? They're natural winners— aristocrats, after all-and if life were fair, well, how would we know who the real winners are?
