Leader Medgar Evers, performed more like a circus clown than a defendant in a first-degree murder case. Constantly shooting his French cuffs, he propped his feet up on a nearby chair, swigged soda pop, glowered at Negro news men, hallooed to white spectators, was once restrained by a bailiff from saun tering over to the jury box to chat with his peers, and with the exaggerated Southern courtliness upon which he so much prides himself, even offered cigars...

In Rome to film The Lady's Vengeance, she spent a lot of time with him and her eleven-year-old twin daughters, Isabella and Ingrid. As a result of a long and angry custody fight, the children live with neither parent during the school year, instead have an apartment in Rome presided over by a governess. Even so, the thrice-married Swedish actress thinks things have worked out all right. "They...
