Color & Consent. It was a hot New Year's Day when Clive Haupt and his bride of three months went with friends to Fish Hoek Beach. Haupt played pickup rugby, then lay down to rest. Suddenly a friend called that Haupt was ill, with frothy blood coming from his mouth. From a local hospital, he was shuttled fast to the better-equipped Victoria Hospital, where doctors concluded that he had suffered a stroke-a massive brain hemorrhage. They saw little hope that he could survive. But since Haupt had apparently been fit, his heart was probably in good condition...
...documents with special warmth-particularly the love-hate relationship between Tolstoy and his wife Sonya. Troyat's portrait of Sonya is considerably more sympathetic than that drawn by most other biographers. During 48 years of marriage, which started with a brutal wedding-night struggle that left the inexperienced bride sexually unresponsive for the rest of her life, she bore his children, efficiently managed Yasnaya Polyana, the family estate, transcribed his chicken scratches into legible manuscripts and nursed him through illness...

The 32-man chamber orchestra...
Then, in a six-minute ceremony, Episcopal Canon Gerald McAllister of San Antonio united dimpled Lynda Bird Johnson, 23, and Marine Captain Charles Spittal Robb, 28, a brush-cut, bridge-playing descendant of Lord Baltimore. Asked who gave the bride away, L.B.J. could not resist a pitch for feminine votes, and said: "Her mother and I." On behalf of the Marine Corps, six of Chuck Robb's fellow officers crossed swords outside the East Room to form an arch as the couple exited. When Yuki tried to join the picture-taking session in the yellow Oval Room, Lady Bird...
