...frustrated wife who eventually destroys the men around her. All the characters are thoroughly unsympathetic. The recording, part of Capitol's new import of Russian phonography, is disappointing. As the wife, Niconora Andreyeva has spirited dramatic presence, but vocally she is insecure. Tenor Vyascheslav Radzievsky, as her husband, has a thin, weary voice, possibly because he forces it at top volume no matter what the circumstances. The many supporting roles are also sung unevenly, with the emphasis on dramatic display rather than well-placed singing...
Ireland managed no less than the national equivalent of a heat wave, with temperatures soaring to nearly 70° as Jacqueline Kennedy, 37, arrived at Shannon Airport with Caroline, 9, and John-John, 6, for a six-week vacation in "this land my husband loved so much." First came an 80-mile ride by chartered bus past waving onlookers in Clare, Limerick and Tipperary, before the Kennedys settled in at Woodstown House, a 40-room Regency mansion on the southeast coast overlooking a huge, secluded beach.

Snows of Yesteryear. Dorothy Parker spent the next few decades mostly living up to, down, or off her legend. In 1933, when she was 40, she married her second husband, Actor-Scenarist Alan Campbell, 28, and toiled with him writing movies. But Hollywood money, she discovered, wasn't real: "It's congealed snow; it melts in your hand." In the '40s, the snow melted even faster as she constantly supported left-wing causes. In 1953, she collaborated on an unsuccessful play, The Ladies of the Corridor, about lonely women living in a hotel. Campbell died...
