...career to the children's story The Little Engine That Could. Heidi was written in 1987 after a frustrating period that included a musical that never made it out of workshop readings and a filmscript for Steven Spielberg that was shelved. Then, as now, she was living in a Greenwich Village apartment, with no formal attachments aside from a cat named Ginger. Relentlessly social, Wasserstein has built a life revolving around an intricate network of friendships, many with other playwrights. But writing Heidi represented, in part, an acknowledgment that Wasserstein, like her heroine, is a woman alone. As Andre Bishop...
...brutalizing his lover Hedda Nussbaum and was convicted of manslaughter in the death of their illegally adopted daughter Lisa. Here was every ingredient of the true-crime blockbuster: cocaine, an S-M relationship, a beautiful six-year-old and a battered woman, all set against the background of Greenwich Village. Most important, in a city afflicted with racial malaise, it starred what Tom Wolfe identified in The Bonfire of the Vanities as the Great White Defendant...

She finished at Ashley Hall, a South Carolina prep school where neglecting to wear white gloves was virtually a punishable offense. At a party in Greenwich, Conn., during Christmas break her senior year, she met George Bush, recently graduated from Andover. A generic dancer -- she complains that whatever the tempo, he does the fox-trot -- George asked her to sit out a waltz. They sat down and fell in love. The two became engaged that summer...
...built by Marjorie Merriweather Post, with its elaborate Moorish arches, its private golf course and its 400 ft. of beach. (Mrs. Post originally bequeathed the place to the U.S. Government for visiting chiefs of state, but it was rejected as too expensive.) And the 47-room weekend cottage in Greenwich, Conn., that Trump bought for $2 million. And the Boeing 727 jetliner and six helicopters. And much, much more. And whenever Trump wants to see his name in print, there is always some new prizefight to sponsor, or next spring's bicycle race that will roam from Trump Tower...
