If only history had Granier-Deferre's good taste, and had kept the blood and violence offstage, so that the sound of the gramophone playing tangos had not been drowned...

She had under gone open-heart surgery at age 8, and the physicians feared that her heart might not be able to withstand the strain of pregnancy. Yet, at 31, she has just given birth to her second child at Los Angeles County Harbor General Hospital. The infant boy weighs only 2 Ibs, and is being kept in an incubator, but he is given a good chance to survive. Says Herrera of her doctors and nurses: "They're doing a fantastic job. They really...
