You got feeling, too, huh? :) Earlier today I also found myself comparing this situation to the Condit one. Hmmm, maybe the old nose is trying to tell me something. . .Okay, here's my suspicions on the subject--and this is just me brainstorming speculations out loud here in case it generates a lead for anyone else, so take it FWIW:
I have read that that the LA mob under Mickey Cohen and Johnny Rosselli used to run a scam where it systematically compromised and blackmailed actresses by luring them into pornography, and this was going on at least into the 1960s (and I assume later, but I haven't found information for later periods yet--I would not be suprised if some emerged from the Michael Jackson trial, though). I have inferred that this operation intersected with a celebrity pornography ring that included directors Roger Vadim (Jane Fonda's husband) and Roman Polanski, which was exposed in the investigation of the Manson murders (the police found videos in Polanski's house, Dennis Hopper told the papers the police told him Vadim and a group of his friends were making s&m and bestiality movies in Polanski's house; those involved in this were also involved in a major drug-dealing ring operating in Hollywood in the heydey of drug use in the late 60s). I have also read that the mob in DC under Joe Nesline ran a similar operation to compromise politicians, tied to a call girl ring that was catering to the DNC during the Watergate era, and this ring also provided male prostitution services and was linked to Korean agents' use of "honey traps". My suspicion is that the DC and Hollywood operations are part of the same operation, supplying suitable "interns" for the likes of the Kennedys (cf. Jimmy Hoffa's attempt to get dirt on JFK's affairs), Clintons, and Condits (and many others). If there's a link between Condit and Kerry and the Hollywood aspect of this, that's one direction I'd look in (in addition to the left-wing connection to Fonda and Streisand): find out if there's any pattern in who's supplying "interns" for DC politicians and if this traces back to the mob's porn/prostitution activity in Hollywood (or Boston, with respect to Kerry and Ted Kennedy and the Bronfman crime family of Boston and Canada [owners of Seagram's--cf. Joseph Kennedy's bootlegging background], which has donated to Kerry). And again this is speculation on my part, but looking at things from that perspective, it strikes me as potentially significant that Poltier is reported to come from this social background:

Alex Polier -- The Kenya connection
Free Republic | 14th Feb 2004 | Free Republic
Posted on 02/14/2004 3:49:07 AM CST by propertius
Alex Polier was, as of 5pm Kenya time, hiding out in Nairobi. She and her fiance, Yaron (sp) Schwartzman were staying at the home of his parents Joseph and Hannah. The London Evening Standard reported last night that she was already in the UK. They were wrong, although there is a possibility she may have flown later on last night -- but I think it is more likely she was still here.
Alex and Yaron were moved from the family's palacial home in the upmarket Nairobi suburb of Lavington late last night to avoid the press. They could be anywhere in Kenya -- at the coast or on Safari.
Yaron is believed to work in Nairobi at a company called Film Struck Studios or possible Film Studios. The company is owned by daddy. He is believed to move in a circle of friends known as the "cokehead set". Now there is more than one cokehead set in Kenya, which attracts old wealth, new wealth, British Aristocracy and some of the international gliterrati.
Daddy is the chairman of an engineering company called H Young, which is owned by former cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott. Biwott is a nasty piece of work. Former President Daniel arap Moi's right hand man, a Scotland Yard enquiry named him the prime suspect in the 1990 murder of Foreign Minister Robert Ouko. He plundered the Kenyan treasury and is known here as "the Godfather", "Mr 15 percent" (the cuts he took when awarding tenders to multinational companies) or "The Total Man" (he owns Total Kenya). Daddy is also business partner of Naushad Merali, another Moi frontman, a multimillionaire and probably Kenya's richest Asian.
This would suggest our man Yaron mixes with the 20 and 30-somethings who are the children or spouses of Kenya's leading criminals. The senior members of this set are Biwott's Israeli wife Rita and his son in law Charles Field-Marshall, a controversial Kenya-based Canadian businessman.
