Sex slavery? That is quite a stretch. I’ve only read the reviews of this book and I see nothing to suggest it’s anything more than science fiction stories about space.

But the question of how Epstein got a teaching job in a prestigious school without a degree has been established as a fact. How did that happen?

That is unusual, as he is listed as teaching math and science. I went to an old northeastern prep school in Connecticut, and I could imagine the rules being bent for a substitute teacher and maybe fine arts (music, art), but never math and science.

The NYPD has an expression: “to move up, you need a rabbi”. In this case it doesn’t imply being Jewish, it simply means you need someone above you looking out for you and giving you a hand up.

All of Epstein’s progressions were improbable and involved others pulling him along.

And everyone is right, to be hired at Dalton in 1974 without a degree was like - well, like making partner at Bear Stearns 3 years after getting the coffee.

It just doesn’t happen.

So, perhaps Epstein had a “rabbi”.
