...down, former Massachusetts Senator Edward W. Brooke, 59, is now "restructuring my life." Brooke, defeated for a third term last fall largely because of the damaging publicity churned up by a messy divorce, scored a demi-triumph as a lobbyist for low-income housing before the same Senate subcommittee on which he once sat. Now Brooke is taking a second wife: Anne Fleming, 30, of Saint Martin in the West Indies. Fleming speaks four languages, is a gourmet cook and opera buff. But her husband is obviously as impressed by her political credentials: her great-grandfather, grandfather, father and uncle...
...seldom served in American homes or restaurants. Carl Jerome's The Complete Chicken (Random House; 247 pages; $12.95) should provide a rise in fare. The author, who has been a teaching and writing associate of James Beard's, ennobles the plebeian poulet in such great incarnalations as demi-deuil, en brioche and bollito misto, all sagely laid out. Jerome also offers some offbeat recipes for Southern fried chicken that will stir sizzling debate in Dixie...

Most popular were the one-kilo ingots (currently worth $5,738), which fit nicely under mattresses, and the small $62 Napoleon d'Or and minuscule $46 demi-Napoleon coins, which can be conveniently secreted-and transported -in the traditional sock.

...wanted to be alone is now occupied by Rock Singer Johnny Rivers. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys holds title to the rambling Spanish colonial house Edgar Rice Burroughs built in Bel Air with profits from Tarzan. Rod Stewart resides with Britt Ekland not far away in a demi-chateau with a formal garden and a warehouse or so of rare French glass. The giants of celluloid are being ousted slowly by kids who make their millions in vinyl. The endangered superstars do not always accept the transition easily. Steve McQueen planted a little forest of protective saplings when...
