About Observer: The Ronnie Lee And Jackie Bancroft

Greed on Wall Street is surpassed only by the company CEOs, founders, and their heirs. Jackie was a Wall Street Journal heiress by virtue of being married to Hugh Bancroft, Jr, heir to the Journal's wealth. The marriage was short, eight years, as Hugh, Jr. died of a brain tumor.

She's from the old school, I guess. She doesn't want to be traveling and living with a man she is not married to."" But, Ron, you're gay. She's not. She's older. You're not. It seems rather strange.""Not really. Nothing will change, except I will be making a lot
