...REAL victims of the pipeline may be the young Alaskans, fresh from high school. Bradley H. Faulkner '80, an Alaska resident, is one of several Harvard students who worked on the pipeline last year. "For someone in my situation, coming out of high school, the money is unparalleled, but once you've got it, it's like 'funny money' because you realize that you can buy just about anything that you have ever dreamed of buying.

So says Meta Carpenter Wilde, 69, recalling her 18-year romance with Novelist William Faulkner. From the day they met in 1935, when she was a script girl and he an impoverished, hard-drinking writer trying to earn some money in the movies, the pair kept their passion one of Hollywood's quietest affairs. Now Meta is telling all, both in November's Los Angeles magazine...
