...this sorry situation by finishing the novel Austen was working on when she died in 1817. Although less than a quarter of Sanditon is the real stuff, the characters and plot set forth in it were enough tc give the rest of the story a veritable Austen contour. Charlotte Heywood is a sensible and clearsighted it quiet country girl staying with Mr. and Mrs. Parker at Sanditon, a new seaside resort on the Sussex coast that Mr. Parker is most anxious to promote. There she falls in love, gets involved in an unforeseen elopement (not her own) and escapes...
This new version of Sanditon offers one solution. The original fragment has been completed by "Another Lady,"* her anonymity coyly echoing the signature ("by a lady") on Austen's first novel, Sense and Sensibility. Austen, this Other Lady suggests, might have chosen to follow Charlotte Heywood, a shrewd country girl on a visit to Sanditon. Charlotte falls in love with a fellow from London named Sidney Parker and, after a minuet of polite rivalries, surreptitious coach journeys and misdirected letters, happily snares and is snared by him. In other words, most of the complexity, satire and social implications suggested...

Founded in 1833, the Telegraph's roster of writers over the years included H.L. Mencken, Ring Lardner, Louella Parsons, Ben Hecht, George Jean Nathan and Heywood Broun, who was fired. When it carried Walter Winchell's "Beau Broadway" column in the 1920s, the Telegraph was studied as closely as Variety at Broadway restaurants such as Sardi's and Lindy's. Even in recent years the paper kept five staffers on the show-biz beat. One of the most popular writers in the 1950s was Columnist Tom O'Reilly, who used to write a Monday piece...
