...true that Manuel ("El Cordobés") Benitez, the recently retired bullfight star, had promised to marry his girl friend if she bore him a son? Not exactly. It was undeniable that pretty, young Marline Rayasse last month did bear him a son, Manuel II (they also have a four-year-old daughter). At the baptism, the 36-year-old ex-matador said that the birth of his son "has persuaded me that I must marry." As to the date, however, he was skittish.

As of a few weeks ago, Farago contended, Bormann was back in Argentina, in Salta province, living in "a cottage on the Rancho Grande, the vast estate of Arndt von Bohlen und Halbach, last scion of the Krupp family." Like so much of Farago's other...
...Ring is based on the reasonable premise that the way to solve the crime (operatic especially) is to learn the motif. "The scene opens," she chirps, "in the River Rhine. IN IT!" The Rhine Maidens? "A sort of aquatic Andrew Sisters." Wotan? "The head god, and a crashing bore, too." The incestuous relationship between Sigmund and Sieglinde? "That's the beauty of grand opera, you can do anything as long as you sing it." The beauty of Russell is that the more you know about the Ring, the funnier the record is. That goes for the other soliloquies...
