...Campbell, granddaughter of the British press tycoon Lord Beaverbrook. As a favor to the Beaver, TIME in 1956 found a minor job in its picture department for Lady Jeanne. Luce became so openly smitten with this cheerful redhead, 31 years his junior, that rumors of the affair appeared in gossip columns. He discussed a divorce with Clare but backed away, Martin alleges, when she attempted suicide and demanded editorial control of Time Inc. as the price of freedom.

"I wish I'd had $100 million," Cameron says with the wistfulness of a teenager who got a Porsche for Christmas, but without...
...insinuations of Kitty Kelley satisfied some readers and repelled others. A third group could not get enough backstairs gossip, and its members are the target audience for A House of Secrets (Birch Lane; 237 pages; $18.95). The novel has two things to recommend it: a plausible first-person tone of wounded innocence, and an author named Patti Davis -- better known as the daughter of Nancy D. Reagan.
