...that time, Sandy had got some solidity in her life. She had always sworn better dead than wed ("My life is on that stage; I am an actress; I can't do both"). But in June 1965, after three weeks' courtship, she married one of the pathfinding composers of modern jazz, Baritone Saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, now 40. Curiously, Mulligan had been the last love of the tragicomedienne most often likened to Sandy, Judy Holliday, who had just died of cancer. One dissonant note: Sandy is tone-deaf, ignorant of jazz, and the only records she owned were...

Political Heresy. Ever since he was hit by a subway strike barely five hours after he assumed office a year ago, Lindsay has been involved in an almost constant courtship of calamity. After the transit strike came a fare hike, and neither of them endeared him to voters. Faced with an empty treasury, he imposed a new city income tax and made the New York Stock Exchange consider exile across the Hudson because of an increased stock-transfer tax. His cherished civilian-controlled board to review complaints against the police was ignominiously defeated 2 to 1 at the polls...
