They moved into an apartment near Detroit's Wayne State University campus. During the day Joni read Bertolt Brecht and Saul Bellow. At night, after completing their cabaret act, the Mitchells were hosts for boisterous all-night poker games often attended by Gordon Lightfoot, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. But after one year the marriage began to crumble. Joni demanded more independence from her husband, who accuses her of deliberate scene stealing...

He looks, when he is not trying, like an all-night coach passenger who is just beginning to realize he has slept through his stop. But his features have great plasticity. His friend Candice Bergen speaks of his "cobra eyes." His energy level can vary with the most careful calibration. His two best roles-as Bobby Dupea, the thwarted concert pianist in Five Easy Pieces (1970) and David Staebler, the self-consumed...
