Even Monroe's last words were about Kennedy, claims Wilson. Kennedy's brother-in-law Peter Lawford, by Wilson's account the last person she spoke to, allegedly heard her say haltingly over the telephone: "Say goodbye to the President and say goodbye to yourself, because you're a nice...
FASANELLA'S CITY text by Patrick Watson. 148 pages. Knopf. $15. Ralph Fasanella's city is New York.

...mans his company's lost and found department. Whatever he gives at the office, he spends most of his time at home exchanging nastiness with his family of carping harpies. The biggest household joke seems to be the sexual inability of his sullen and slovenly brother-in-law Arthur, although last week Mom's hot flashes and the laxative nature of sister's cooking came in for their share of yucks. NBC announced last week that henceforth there will be more "warmth" written into these plug-uglies, and in an unusual step, aired two segments...
