    Background

  • An East Coast Liberal
     Little Valerie didn't question that the world was good and right always won. Pre-Teen Val got the wrong message from all those tales of Nobles and Aristocrats she had heard as a child.... She actually wanted to help others and not just reap the rewards of a comfortable Yuppie existance.  Being "Too smart for own good", she saw what others tried to hide from her about the world [deliberately chosing friends from the "wrong side of the tracks and exploring their worlds].
  • Highly intelligent [180+ IQ] she graduated HS at age 12- and was accepted at Harvard (another Harvard "Wunderkid") were she worked hard at multiple degrees and considered play - intern work at the Slade Foundation for Law & Justice.
  • By the end of 78 & 79 Valerie Stratford was entitled to put various letters after her name: She had her law degree [and passed the Bar - first time natürlich];with doctorates in Psychology and Forensic Medicine.
  • In 1978 the FBI became interested in her...for an agent. And she stayed with them for 4 years; gaining a nice arrest quota and incidentally becoming a bit of PR for the "new FBI".
  • In 1982 she took a turn for the worse and became part of the prosecution team at the federal courts level for the Attorney Generals office as an Investigator, then as an attorney trying cases in federal court for the Justice Dept.
  • By 1984, Stratford had become known on television for her skilled and personable public presentations of the Justice Dept's side of the story. [Good PR to deflect criticism for Bad policy.]
  • Dr Stratford was chosen Jan 1986 by Ed Meese to head an Organized Crime Task force. Meese wanted a Powerplayer Elder Male (Good O'Boy network) but public pressure forced Reagon & Meese to appoint what they thought would be a token (Liberal, female) to divert attention from the various scandals in office and banking at the time. To break her ("just like a liberal to fall apart when hard work shows up") [It is said Ed Meese's files still include the resignation letter he kindly pre-wrote for her] he assigned her to a heavy duty problem - one of the Organized Crime Task Forces - Mob cleanup - instead of the `"fluffy civil rights" she wanted."
    Annoyingly, she succeeded, so Meese smiles publicly at his own forethought in appointing her; and gives her harder cases & tasks - not that a public servant would put his tastes and beliefs in front of the good of the country - oh no not him...waiting for her fall.
  • She picked up a load of wackos and other hard-cases along with her assignment, including Justin Daniels and later (still a gluttion for punishment) after his escape from Wendover, Anthony James "Casket" Corelli and the other Players [the US Marshal Service always sends the Gung-Ho ones to her].
  • The following is an Alternate Timeline reference, thanks to Operation Backstep......
    [1] After the July 19, 1989 arrests of several of her team for Murder and corruption (Violations of the Slade-Hartley Anti-Corruption Act) and the resulting unfavorable publicity from the manhunt for Corelli, Daniels, Hemlock and Nakagomi et al; Meese felt glee in his cold heart when Stratford was forced to resign from her position.
  • [2]This heart-felt glee of Meese's turned to lead when Stratford, instead of giving up her good name meekly, started to bring forth evidence of Meese's own connection to the troubled team members.... violations of law and procedure apparently sanctioned by Meese and run through the aid and connivance of Paul Gibbons. These included such things as evidence tampering and the use of pre-signed fraudulant warrants. Acts of sabotage against both her and the Justice Meese claimed to stand for.
  • [3] The events of July 19, 1989 will cost Val her "Legal Enforcement Powers 10pts" and "Patron: Attorney General 10pts (6-)" advantages, but she keeps her Reps and Enemies & can rest from her "Very Haz Duty -20" now.
  • Again thanks to Operation Backstep Paragraphs [1-3] are currently invalid....all those without temporal inertia, are expected to report to your physician for memory wiping... err....
