...Avalon and other Philadelphia Italians Clark was promoting; or maybe a less handsome relative of teen throb James Darren. But Bobby had two things they didn?t: a facility for songwriting and the old-fashioned ambition to go legit. The first hint of Darin?s staying power was "Dream Lover," a lovely potpourri of pop modes: the plinking rhythm of "Little Darlin?" (done pizzicato by violins here), the release from "This Little Girl of Mine" and a Don Costa-like mixed chorus, with women singing the heavenly-choir "ooo"s and men answering this siren call with a goofy...
...story says that upper-caste men from Behmai killed her lover, and took Devi prisoner and raped her repeatedly....and that she escaped and formed her own gang, and, by and by, returned to the upper-caste village and took her revenge. It is said she presided over a massacre there of 22 men.

But the maxim has a corollary: The more people you kill; the wider the clamor for revenge...
...with Levy, new and ominous information emerged--from investigators, from tabloid sludge to website Drudge, from the incessant talk-show tales told by another "other woman" (a flight attendant with fire-engine red hair) to the claims of a father who said his daughter's fear of her former lover had driven her into hiding. The Condit legal team fought back, volunteering DNA samples, allowing searches, proffering a polygraph test. But the recriminations have not stopped, not from the cops, not from the press and certainly not from the Levys...
