...will take me more than five months to get over Peter's death," declared Lynne Frederick, 26, last Christmas in Gstaad, where she was recovering in the company of David Frost, 41, an old flame. Exactly one month later, Peter Sellers' widow marched down the aisle with her consoler, the eminently eligible British television star and producer, in a quiet ceremony in Theberton, England. Sellers' children professed outrage. "This only proves her love for my father was paper thin," snapped Michael, 26, who, along with Sarah, 23, and Victoria, 16, is contesting Sellers' will, which leaves...
...America so young in years; yet we suddenly seem old from responsibility. Just 20 years ago, Poet Robert Frost came to town to recite at John Kennedy's Inauguration: "Such as we were we gave ourselves outright/ . . . To the land vaguely realizing westward,/ But still unstoried, artless, un-enhanced." Kennedy answered: "The torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans."

Warren is the more demanding poet, and for that reason will never enjoy Frost's popularity. While the landscape of Kentucky remains central to much of Warren's best poetry, the Agrarian movement was only one stage...
...fierce insistence on making public all issues of the heart, on working some common moral out of private pain. Rock music is still benefitting from lessons that Lennon fought hard for, then passed along. All his music seemed to be torn from that small, stormy interior where, as Robert Frost once wrote, "work is play for mortal stakes...
