...gossip columns began to pant with rumors of a Monroe affair with Co-Star Yves Montand. Purring that he was "amazed and flattered," and full of assurance that he would never toss his eleven-year marriage to Actress Simone Signoret "overboard for one performance," Montand did make one Gallically candid revelation: "Marilyn is a simple girl, without any guile," he said.

His book is a triumph of industry and a signal display of disorganization, a patchwork-letters, reminiscences, vignettes-of incoherent research. Apart from a few candid shots of its subject, the book is significant only because it treats Pound seriously and heralds the work that will treat him definitively. It is a reminder that he cannot be written off and must, more and more, be written about. Pound's reputation, largely self-besmirched, has fallen...
