Concerning news it is hard to say enough and not too much. The rights of the gossip must be held sacred, and it is unnecessary to trespass upon the domain of the childish.

...true in grade school, and it's true when you're in the White House: don't hang with the wrong crowd. That's the mistake HILLARY CLINTON made last week when she decided to hold a private meeting with gossip columnist CINDY ADAMS at New York's 132-year-old University Club, where she'd just spoken at a $1,000-a-plate fund raiser.

...been for several months, Victor Lasky's J.F.K.: The Man and the Myth, a withering attack on the character and competence of the President. The attacks have continued, and escalated, ever since--in books by historians; in memoirs of friends, associates and acquaintances of Kennedy and his family; in gossip columns and tabloids; and at times in official documents belatedly released. Together, these revelations form a tawdry counterpoint to the much brighter images that continue to dominate Kennedy's popular reputation. Against the heroic, romantic vision of Kennedy as a brilliant young superman stands the picture of an irresponsible libertine...

...celebrated with whom he socialized during the trial. On and on, the names pulse through the book: the Princess of Wales, Elizabeth Taylor, Nancy Reagan, Warren Beatty--each one desperate for Dunne to tell him or her the latest news from the courthouse. Part O.J. reportage and part gossip column, Another City, Not My Own also tells the story of Dunne's personal tragedies and redemption. Los Angeles was the scene of the strangulation of his 22-year-old daughter Dominique at the hands of an abusive boyfriend in 1982. It was also the city that he left years...
