Talk about Michael sex's life segued into a discussion of Arthur Koestler's rape of Jill, a story that Michael himself first revealed in a review of a book about Koestler. He caused an uproar in the press and among Jill's and Michael's friends. Frederic Raphael wrote a piece questioning Jill's account, suggesting she had exaggerated or perhaps had even led Koestler on. There were other skeptics, although another woman came forward, writing a letter to the press that described Koestler's assault on her (she managed to escape being raped). Then it was revealed that Koestler had also raped one of Dick Crossman's wives.
