Gradually she began to see David again, but always under the watchful eye of family members. In 1973 she asked that he be told that she was his natural mother and had a writ of habeas corpus served on Dolph. After Dolph failed to produce the boy for testing before the question of custody could be settled, he was sent to jail. Teddy also refused to comply with the court order and, before going to jail herself, told Micah and Peter Yee, 15, a storefront regular picked up by the family in a nearby park, to hide David. In October...
...Ladies' Home Journal is not so dumb. It commissioned Renaissance Woman Candice Bergen, 28, to get inside the White House and shoot some informal pictures of the First Family. Candy had already caught the eye of official White House Photographer David Hume Kennerly, who obligingly set up exclusive photo sessions for her. Candy seemed exclusive too. So it was that an envious Washington photo corps saw Candy and David not only stepping out together at the state dinner for visiting Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar All Bhutto but even indulging in a little slap-and-tickle as well...

Both of Robert Parker's novels, about a private eye known simply as Spenser, are filled with echoes of the masters. But Parker is really not a pirate. Instead, he resembles film makers like Jean-Luc Godard, who pay homage to great directors of the past with little vignettes so blatantly similar in style that no aficionado could miss...
...also careful to keep his echoes just that. Spenser is not Marlowe or the Continental Op. He is a naturally optimistic and even-tempered fellow. In so far as he can afford it, he loves the good life. A bachelor at 37, he has a fine, selective eye for women. He is also an excellent cook, and Parker does not hesitate to halt the narrative to describe in detail Spenser's culinary procedures. If the se ries goes on long enough, Houghton Mifflin will doubtless publish Spenser's Clues to Cooking...
