...willed. But she was a prominent revolutionary before she married and never played the part of First Lady. Contemporary examples elsewhere in the Communist world are uninspiring: in Rumania Nicolae Ceausescu's widely reviled wife Elena; in China the disgraced Jiang Qing, Mao Zedong's widow. Leonid Brezhnev's daughter Galina, once hailed as the East bloc's answer to Jacqueline Kennedy, later achieved notoriety by associating with shady characters...
...ensure that she complies with the order, Forster is required to periodically provide written evidence to her probation officer. Forster, who married at 15, said she had been overwhelmed by the job of taking care of the boys after her marriage broke up. Both children, as well as a daughter born in March, have since been given up for adoption. Asserting that the "state has no right to interfere" in Forster's freedom to become pregnant, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Catholic Church will protest the order...
...ferocious antimodernist reaction. But now the pendulum is swinging back again, which may account for this week's eleventh-hour attempt to rehabilitate two modernist reputations at once. Neither prizewinner is interested in making a pretense of mellowness. In the acceptance speech he prepared for his daughter to read, Niemeyer disparaged a "minor architecture made with a ruler and square" and, a bit self-servingly, endorsed the "search for the spectacular."

Holland's family was outraged. Last week her brother made public a 6,000- signature petition demanding that Porto get the maximum penalty. "Rough sex?" scoffs her father Denis, a retired policeman. "That phrase wasn't even part of my daughter's vocabulary." It had, however, become part of the public's vocabulary earlier this year during the "preppie murder" trial of Robert Chambers, who claimed to have killed Jennifer Levin accidentally during an unbridled sexual episode in Manhattan's Central Park. Last week Levin's father Steven held a press conference to protest such defense tactics. "It's become...
...paraphrasing Salinger's words, Hamilton believed he was within legal bounds. But the court signaled otherwise: "The biographer has no inherent right to copy the 'accuracy' or the 'vividness' of the letter writer's expression." For example, in 1941 Salinger dated Oona O'Neill, daughter of Playwright Eugene O'Neill and future wife of Charlie Chaplin. In one unpublished letter, Salinger imagined a scene from the couple's domestic life: "I can see them at home evenings. Chaplin squatting grey and nude, atop his chiffonier, swinging his thyroid around his head by his bamboo cane, like a dead rat. Oona...
