[QUOTE=Der Trihs] I’ll give a .5 score to you anyway; right character, wrong book & author. The hazards of using characters from fictionalized history. Anyone care to guess which version of Antonina I was thinking of ? [/QUOTE] David Drake & Eric Flint’s “An Oblique Approach” & following alternate history books? > [@Sampiro](#): > > Ophelia (last name unknown but worked in NYC, early 1980s, invested in commodities) Useless nitpick: assuming **Lou** was correct, Trading Places took place in Philadelphia, not NYC. True, the final trading scene was in NYC, but she worked as a hooker exclusively in Philly. (My apologies: as a native Philadelphian and proud of it, I feel an annoying compulsion to correct those who think the movie was based in New York) ---
