Ah, you think she committed suicide and covered herself up with a foot of brush?

[Bonaparte]

He not only thinks she buried herself after committing suicide but that she was "despondent" over the end of her internship, a low-paying job she only took to satisfy academic requirements and that was only supposed to last as long as it took her to finish her degree. Once her degree was earned, the job ended just as it was supposed to (actually she kept it a little longer than that, so she could keep seeing Condit in DC). This meant that she now qualified for a much better job with much better pay, but to Reeses, this meant she was a "failure."

So what we have here is a young woman who has just earned her masters in public administration, has just completed her internship in DC, has been having a terrific time partying and hob-nobbing with Congressmen and an assortment of friends, has been keeping herself in great shape at her fitness club, and has been calling her relatives regularly with all sorts of gushy, glowing reports. Reeses thinks this is a life not worth living and that her suicide was inevitable. In fact, he claims to have mathematical proof of it and goes on about "the numbers," but I have yet to see him present this math he says he has.
