...widow Chamorro favors an informal style, wearing simple clothes that accent her trim figure and filling her home with antique furniture and endless mementos of her husband. A sought-after speaker on the international journalists' circuit, she spends much of her time outside the country, often popping up at gala occasions like the inauguration of Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez, a longtime friend. When at home, she is driven to the paper's run-down plant each morning in a blue Toyota jeep. In her air- conditioned office, she puts her feet up to relieve her painful osteoarthritic condition...

His novels can leave you transformed (at least temporarily) by his visionary social criticism and his earnest reflections on the endless struggle for a transfiguring sexuality. Ken Russell's adaptation of The Rainbow is faithful not only to Lawrence's spirit but also to the naive idealism he was (one hopes still is) capable of animating in eager, youthful hearts...
