Bitter Man. Returning last fall to his Latin Quarter room with its nude prints, Le Pen installed the new mistress he had picked up in Saigon-an elfin artist with inch-long silver fingernails and two-toned hair (blond on brown). He was bitter about the Communists, about Mendès France's "betrayal" of Indo-China, scornful of France's Deputies, whom he labeled degenerates.

Dropping napalm on Korean villages has upset him deeply (he has, in fact, become temporarily impotent), so naturally he Wants to Write. His methods are interesting. He takes a $14,000 stake to a desert gambling resort called Desert D'Or, 200 miles from Hollywood-a suburb in the literary country of tough-guy nihilism mapped by James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett...
...Eddie Carbone, a kindly longshoreman who has brought up his wife's orphan niece (Gloria Marlowe) with his own family. All goes well until he takes into his home two Sicilian cousins who have entered the U.S. illegally.

He taunts the girl that the boy seeks marriage only as a way of gaining citizenship; he tries to make the neighborhood think...
