...Allen and Farrow have been a couple since 1980. For the first five years, their affair was carried on mostly at his apartment, rarely at hers, which for years has been overflowing with kids and pets: Farrow now has four biological and seven adopted children. "She likes to spend tons of time with kids," he told author Eric Lax in a biography published last year, in enumerating the opposites that attracted him to her. "I like to spend . . . only a limited time with kids." But the warming intensity of their companionship led Allen to a decision he had avoided...
...Allen, by all accounts, radiated a fatherly devotion toward Satchel and the two children he adopted with Farrow: Dylan and 14-year-old Moses. Says an old friend, TV personality Dick Cavett: "He completely rearranged his man- killingly busy life so that he could lavish time and money and attention on the children, probably more than many orthodox parents do. He'd get up at 5 and religiously make it over there seven days a week." And Farrow was devoted to his devotion. But after Satchel's birth, the romance began to wane. Their partnership has been platonic for four...
...Allen frequently escorted Farrow's children to sports events, movies, the circus. Two years ago, Allen, who says he had previously paid little attention to Soon-Yi, began taking her to Knicks games at the Garden.

...weeks ago, Allen visited Farrow's family in her Connecticut home. Shortly thereafter, Farrow talked with Dylan, and recorded the conversations ! on videotape, to determine whether the child had been abused. Farrow took Dylan to a physician, who, obliged by Connecticut law to do so, reported the claim of abuse to the police, and Allen was a candidate for questioning. Within a week he filed for custody of his three children. And early last week he publicly announced his love for Soon-Yi. In a phrase echoing his declaration about Farrow, he said Soon-Yi "has and continues to turn...
...addition to the lawyers advising her on the custody case, Farrow retained attorney Alan Dershowitz, who has acquired the odor of a Lamborghini ambulance chaser for his showboating defenses of the rich and heinous (Claus von Bulow, Leona Helmsley, Mike Tyson). Dershowitz contended that Allen's custody suit was "concocted" to obscure the issue of child molestation. He denied Allen's charge that Farrow, who took no alimony in her divorces from Frank Sinatra and composer-conductor Andre Previn, was demanding $7 million as a payoff to retract the child-abuse accusation. "Baloney," said Dershowitz; Farrow only "wants her family...
