5. Considering the male preppies interviewed and potrayed in the Globe article
Sat Sep 13, 2025, 04:49 PM

The absolute LAST thing they're going to do is follow some woman who seeks to take over the leadership of the organization their macho messiah founded. Of course, if she truly follows in her beloved Charlie's footsteps, all she is doing is being a placeholder until the next macho leader steps up, at which point she will step aside and melt back into the background where she belongs. For her to do anything else would alienate a lot of the boys who swallowed his macho line up to now. That might set up an entertaining power struggle.

Ave Carolus, morituri te saludant!
