...Cornelia Wallace tells it in C'nelia, her highly personal portrayal of life with Alabama Governor George Wallace, their marriage was warm and close, both emotionally and physically. They shared baths together, sometimes "hugged and kissed and cried and sobbed," and were intimate even after his gunshot wounds made conventional sexual relations impossible. She tells how she once shooed the security men out of George's hospital room as he recuperated; she locked the door "and returned to the arms of my waiting husband." Afterward, "his wheelchair had a new wiggle in its roll...
That cozy portrait was shattered last week with the revelation that a recording device had been discovered in the telephone between the beds of Cornelia and George in their master bedroom. Also, 200 five-minute tape recordings had been found by security officers in a safe used by Cornelia in the Governor's mansion in Montgomery. Though lie-detector tests were being administered by state police to members of the mansion's staff, apparently in an effort to find out who had leaked word of the taping, Wallace refused to say that Cornelia had planned the bugging. "This...
Still, the relationship between George and Cornelia could directly affect Alabama politics. Wallace is barred by state law from running for re-election in 1978. Cornelia is considered a possible prospect to try to succeed him, just as Wallace's first wife, Lurleen, followed him as Governor in 1967 (she died of cancer 17 months after taking office).

Henricus Bintanja, 29, a chemist, and Cornelia Hemker, 25, his girl friend, both from Amsterdam, were on a trip around the world. In Hong Kong they met a gem dealer who called himself Alain Dupuis. He invited them to his luxury hotel, sold them a blue sapphire at half the usual price, and told them to look him up in Bangkok. To their surprise, Dupuis was at the airport when they flew in, and he drove them to his apartment. They soon became violently ill. On Dec. 16 their bodies were found on the roadside 40 miles north of Bangkok...
...last month, the wife of an Illinois minister preached passionately about how the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution would help housewives. In the Ladies' Home Journal, the wives of seven 1976 presidential contenders voted 5 to 2 for the ERA and told why. (Only Cornelia Wallace and Nancy Reagan were against it.) The ardently feminist Ms. ran a story by Actor Alan Alda explaining how the amendment could benefit men. In fact, one kind of article or another explaining the ERA appeared in the July issue of 34 women's magazines...
