...hundred years ago, Carlo Loren-zini found himself light on cash and heavy on gambling debts. Driven to action, the 54-year-old civil servant-turned-writer concocted a tale about a wooden marionette and sold the first chapter to a children's newspaper, reportedly describing the story as "a little nonsense." By the 15th installment, the author was no longer harried by financial troubles and decided to seal his hero's fate by having him hanged by a devious fox and cat. But popular outrage quickly compelled him to create a lovely blue fairy who resurrected...
...aquarium's orchestrated splendors include plenty to justify the quote from the late anthropologist Loren Eisely that is lettered on a plaque at the start of the exhibits: "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."

One startling sign: making a spot check one recent night, private guards at a Memphis nightclub found 32 patrons carrying guns...
...Ferdinand Marcos at Malacanang Palace in Manila, a cruise with Mrs. Imelda Marcos on the presidential yacht, and a celebrity-studded evening at Valentino's Rome apartment. Smilgis, a former reporter at SPORTS ILLUSTRATED and writer at PEOPLE, has interviewed hundreds of celebrities from John Travolta to Sophia Loren, but she puts Shields among her most challenging assignments. Says Smilgis: "It is very difficult to interview a 15-year-old. Most people you interview don't have a mother helping them answer your questions."
