• “In time ‘everyone’ had bodyguards, butlers, even crews for a fleet of inboard-engined Italian Riva speedboats carved from mahogany and teak which were made available for our exclusive use. We had only to make a telephone call and one of these long, low boats with white, green, and taupe cushions would appear with a reassuring hum along the shore of whichever Ilegalist villa we were staying at on Lake Snagov., attended by a young soldier in dark pants, a white shirt, and a uniform cap.”
