...street famous, and established Rome as the Mecca and Gomorrah of European society. (Nino Rota's music from La Dolce Vita and other Fellini films ornaments the sound track.) Valentino had just come from Paris to open a salon; Giammetti was still in college. Their serendipitous encounter cued a grand, contentious, lifelong partnership. A handsome man whose strength is revealed in whispers, Giammetti seems fulfilled by his crucial supporting role. When an Italian journalist asks him, "How would you define, in one word, your choice to live in another man's shadow?", Giammetti replies, "Happiness...
...solid achievements in plays and movies and on television, Richardson was first, and unfairly, thought of as Redgrave's daughter. Although she was not blessed with Redgrave's white-hot, almost alarming incandescence - that grand stature mixed with a girlish vulnerability - Richardson had her own gifts.

In July, Kithure Kindiki, the man appointed to oversee efforts at national ethnic healing, resigned his post because he said the government was not financing his efforts. Now many people fear the coalition will collapse, and the militias responsible for much of the postelection killing are said to be rearming. And just a year after...
