From Haiti came tidings of the restless honeymoon of self-satisfied Novelist James (From Here to Eternity) Jones, 33, and his luscious, platinum-tressed bride, Gloria Mosolino, 29, whose previous claim to fame was a brief stand-inship for Cinemactress Marilyn Monroe. Before going to Manhattan last week to grapple with his publisher, Jones discoursed long and freely about his latest goo-plus-page opus, Some Came Running, due for autumn publication.

Humbert's would-be child bride is stolen from him by a playwright with an Aztec Red convertible. When Humbert sees Lolita again she is a post-nymphet 17, pregnant and married to a wholesome ex-G.I. But she still loves the playwright, and in a hilarious and nightmarish murder scene Humbert pumps bullet after bullet into him while the victim protests with phony British aplomb: "Ah. that hurts, sir, enough! Ah, that hurts atrociously, my dear fellow. I pray you, desist...
