More than Beaujolais or Bordeaux or their passionately loved franc, the illicit love affair has always held a special place in the hearts of Frenchmen. The magnificent Château de Chenonceaux is Henri II's tribute to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. French authors and artists-Emile Zola and Bonnard, for example-have immortalized their mistresses in their art. For the past 18 years the popular daily newspaper France Soir has run an illustrated serial titled "Famous Love Affairs." And now comes a bestselling survey of 93 French males entitled The Sexual Behavior of the Married...
Vanishing Breeders. Mistresses are obsolete, one insurance agent suggested, because "only one thing counts in love-it is the brief encounter." Added a financier, "The principal quality of a woman is neither beauty nor charm nor intelligence, it is novelty." Equally unexpected is Baroche's revelation that the French lover of fabled expertise is a vanishing breed; many men were simply bored with the foreplay in lovemaking.

...less trust attended the closings in Lovelady, a sleepy town in the piney woods of East Texas, and Big Lake, though there the faith was on the other side. The State National Bank of Lovelady (pop. 644) used to advertise that "we love people, particularly people to whom money is a mystery." President Jim Grady Waller lived up to his ads. "If a man needed money, Waller would give it to him, even if he didn't have collateral," says Mayor W. T. (for William Thomas) Bruton. "A man's word was good enough." The debtors still...
