Secret Life. Hollywood bid ("It always sounds glamorous when you're young"), and she responded. Soon she was making The Fountainhead with Gary Cooper. Those long deep looks at Cooper, still remembered viscerally by every man who saw the picture, were remembered most by Cooper himself, who for a time shed his marital responsibilities, ripped off his merit badges, and fell head-over-spurs in love, beginning one of those muted Olympian affairs that everyone knows about but few discuss...

Also to be preserved after the fair: an 800-seat theater, a 5,500-seat arena for circuses and ice shows, a monorail...
Milan's opulence is no sudden sparkle or passing phenomenon. The city is the dynamic fountainhead of the biggest, most sustained comeback that any European nation has made from World War II ashes. Germany has had its economic miracle, and France its postwar resurgence; both are still prospering but at a slightly slower pace. North Italy has sustained its boom. In Milan the Gothic finials of the renowned duomo now have to fight for recognition against a skyline of striking new skyscrapers. From the Piazza del Duomo rises the bedlam that only Italian traffic can generate. In front...
