Allen, by all accounts, radiated a fatherly devotion toward Satchel and the two children he adopted with Farrow: Dylan and 14-year-old Moses. Says an old friend, TV personality Dick Cavett: "He completely rearranged his man- killingly busy life so that he could lavish time and money and attention on the children, probably more than many orthodox parents do. He'd get up at 5 and religiously make it over there seven days a week." And Farrow was devoted to his devotion. But after Satchel's birth, the romance began to wane. Their partnership has been platonic for four...
Allen frequently escorted Farrow's children to sports events, movies, the circus. Two years ago, Allen, who says he had previously paid little attention to Soon-Yi, began taking her to Knicks games at the Garden. Allen said in an interview with TIME that their sexual relationship blossomed late last year. It was not until January that Farrow learned of the affair. Yet the director and his star continued working on their new film Husbands and Wives, due to be released on Sept...
...weeks ago, Allen visited Farrow's family in her Connecticut home. Shortly thereafter, Farrow talked with Dylan, and recorded the conversations ! on videotape, to determine whether the child had been abused.

...didn't stay wonderful. As New York Newsday blared in its Tuesday headline: IT'S GETTING UGLY. The Connecticut charges hit the papers, and Farrow's support team started spreading the bad news. Her friend Maria Roach released a Farrow letter, eloquent in its rage and despair: "I have spent more than a dozen years with a man who would destroy me and corrupt my daughter, leading her into a betrayal of her mother and her principles, leaving her morally bankrupt with the bond between us demolished. I can think of no crueler way to lose a child...
...addition to the lawyers advising her on the custody case, Farrow retained attorney Alan Dershowitz, who has acquired the odor of a Lamborghini ambulance chaser for his showboating defenses of the rich and heinous (Claus von Bulow, Leona Helmsley, Mike Tyson). Dershowitz contended that Allen's custody suit was "concocted" to obscure the issue of child molestation. He denied Allen's charge that Farrow, who took no alimony in her divorces from Frank Sinatra and composer-conductor Andre Previn, was demanding $7 million as a payoff to retract the child-abuse accusation. "Baloney," said Dershowitz; Farrow only "wants her family...
