Table of Contents: The Structure as Argument#
Most tables of contents are road maps. This one is an X-ray.
Look at the layout below. Five names. Five files. Under each name you will find the same categories repeating with almost mechanical precision: marriages, affairs, allegations, legal entanglements, financial settlements. No editorial spin is needed. The repetition speaks for itself.
When five separate cases, examined independently, keep producing the same pattern of private dysfunction bleeding into public power, you are no longer reading anecdotes. You are looking at a system.
