...COLLECTED STORIES OF ANDRÉ MAUROIS. The female mind and heart are examined in these 38 tales by the late French partisan in the battle of the sexes...
...Documentary Producer Lucy Jarvis, "nothing stops me." Her television credits justify the bravado. In 1962, she cajoled Nikita Khrushchev into letting her film a special inside the Kremlin-a privilege never before permitted even the Soviet network. The following year, she collared France's Cultural Affairs Minister André Malraux and demanded: "If Khrushchev trusted me, why can't you?"-and gained TV's first penetration of the Louvre.

A connoisseur of the senses, he believed that "the world of appearance is the only one we will ever know." While the existentialist crowds stormed intellectual bastilles, he coolly sat down to write in his luxurious apartment overlooking the Bois de Boulogne, carefully dressed for literature (blue serge suit, quiet four-in-hand, expensive leather carpet slippers).
