Liz Ray's Little Black Book

Although it is a dreadful piece of soft porn--so repetitive in its acts that it makes sex boring--Elizabeth Ray's autobiographical novel, which Dell Publishing Co. is rushing out next month, is certain to cause a great guessing game in Washington. She contends that the events and personalities in the paperback are real, but for obvious legal reasons she has changed the names.* So who are they? The latest manuscript includes:

Senator Sincere: Identified as a legendary legislator with aspirations to higher office, Senator Sincere encounters Liz on Capitol Hill, later phones her at home and invites her to his Washington apartment when his wife is away. Of course, they immediately have some kinky sex. Liz knows that she has been used, but she is pleased that she was, in her view, scarcely a pillowcase away from the presidency.

Senator Player: A dashing young man who attracts Liz because of his famous family name and tanned, muscular body, he is a sort of Phase II Sincere. As soon as the wife and kiddies are off on vacation. Player asks her up to his Georgetown house --and guess what happens. Their relationship lasts off and on for a year.

Congressman Elan Bright: A flamboyant fellow, he hires Liz at taxpayers' expense as a kind of sexy mascot, occasionally has her chaperon one of his girl friends shipped in from the home district. But her prime job is to take care of other important legislators--sometimes at orgies staged by him--so that he can win political favors from them.

Senator Otis Battle: An insatiable man, he puts Liz on his payroll purely to enjoy her sexually, also commands her to make love with others while he watches. But he never takes Liz along on his many tax-paid European junkets. Those choice trips are reserved for yet another mistress.

And these are only the major figures. There are countless lesser lights, all of whom Liz beds in the book: a Watergate lawyer and a top lobbyist, a defense contractor and some big-shot constituents. Though Liz suffers a minor disappointment at the end, when Battle goes off to marry a preferred mistress, she seems happy enough. She is promoted to Mistress No. 1, effective his wedding day, and in her final lines expresses her joy at being so close to the seat of power.

*One name that is not changed: Delia Smith Allen, her grandmother, to whose memory Ray dedicates her book.
