> Somebody mentioned the answer by Aristotle

> The answer was:
> "I would buy a decent suite and go

> Why would I call the "winner" of

> Because he WAS an "aristotle
> onassis" in that situation.

> 1. He went straight to the place where rich
> and powerful hang out.
> 2. He targeted ... women...
> 3. The third woman he met was a widow of a
> relative of a powerful political figure (as
> far as I remember from the article - the
> Senator).
> 4. A hot "romance" followed.
> 5. In a week he had his ID.

> Now, THIS path is not for everyone.

> But I see some significant points/aspects of

> In your opinion, what are those?
