...movie, Husbands and Wives, Allen plays a college professor who makes love with a young woman student a third his age. And, oh, in Manhattan didn't he and Mariel Hemingway play a similarly mismatched couple? In Hannah and Her Sisters didn't he imagine an affair between a sister and one of her brothers-in-law? No one recalls that Manhattan's middle-aged male ended up miserably alone, and that the scandalous tryst in Hannah was not joyous or lasting. So the inference holds: that Allen's bad life is imitating his good...

Carpenter writes elegies for lives gone sour and places sorely missed. In these songs, love is - what we used...

As the two sat by the White House pool Wednesday morning, Barbara Bush explained that the newspapers were reporting that Noelle's grandfather allegedly had a fling with a former staff member eight years earlier. "Come on, Ganny," said the girl. "That's what they're saying," Mrs. Bush replied. When Noelle broke into giggles, the First Lady upbraided her in mock horror. "That's sort of insulting to your grandfather." Replied Noelle...
