...Pagliai lives like the fiscal prince that he is. His showplace home in suburban Mexico City is a white brick Georgian mansion, graced with 14 live-in servants and 50 imported Italian umbrella cypresses planted in holes blasted into lava rock. Besides collecting pesos, he acquires Dresden figurines, Chinese jade, Venetian glass and ancient Spanish books that he often pores over until 2 a.m. His house also shelters Mexico's most distinguished selection of wines (7,000 bottles) and its finest private art collection-El Greco, Botticelli, Van Dyck, Dali, Diego Rivera-as well as Pagliai's picturesque...
...impoverished mother years before. The highway, like the highways of Fielding or Smollett, yields a complete novelist's kit of cutpurses and murderers, madmen and saints. The hero is set upon by mastiffs, trampled to insensibility by a mob, and nearly deprived of his virginity by a jade.

For years, she was repeatedly cast in German films more or less as Shirley Tempelhof, the cardboard princess. Determinedly, she has changed all that. Last week in London, dressed in tights and high black stockings, she began work in Carl Foreman's The Victors as a cabaret violinist turned whore, playfully kicking up her heels and pulling her tights...
...keeps his pants pockets full of enough odds and ends to cover a variety-store counter, he asked the Senator to empty the contents on the spot. Dirksen complied: a pocket knife, a St. Christopher medal, an empty leather pillbox, a cold sniffer, an odd-shaped piece of rough jade, a magnifying reading glass, a 1955 medal of the Kewanee. Ill., Masonic Lodge, a silver dollar money clip, two heavily burdened key rings, and a quarter...
