...married. Attend church. Join the Elks or even a Jacuzzi club. Whatever, so long as you keep in touch. Such behavior may be the best prescription for long and healthy life, according to research by Epidemiologist Lisa Berkman of the University of California at Berkeley. Studying the lives of 7,000 people between the ages of 30 and 69 over a nine-year period, she found that extraverts are more likely to live longer than introverts, who tend to be overweight, smoke, shun exercise and drink too much.

Some might think that what makes living in the White House the good life is the Jacuzzi or the private movie theater. But what she really enjoys, Rosalynn insists, is the close family things. Relatives in the third-floor guest rooms. Holding hands around the dinner table as the President calls on someone to ask the blessing. Leisurely Saturday lunches at poolside with all the children.

The couple, after some nude Jacuzzi bathing, allegedly retired to a bedroom where, despite the girl's protests, Polanski forced her to have sexual relations with him. The girl never told her mother, who learned of the story later through an overheard phone call...
...written in six or seven different styles, ranging from academic hauteur (she says she was "amanuensis to the Zeitgeist") through Cosmo cute ("Bed reared its ugly headboard") to bewilderingly lifeless porn. The author's mind seems to have been softened by too many hours in a Malibu Jacuzzi. As if searching for a new definition of vulgarity, Jong writes that hostile criticism of her first novel makes her think of "Jews gassed at Auschwitz." (Actually, Fear of Flying was extravagantly overpraised.) She also contrives to turn the tragic suicide of Poet Anne Sexton (named "Jeannie" in the book) into...
