Architect Edward Durell Stone, 64, was beaming. His former flame had a glow in her eyes. "Goodbye, Maria. Good luck," Stone whispered dramatically in New York State Supreme Court. Thus the architect parted from his wife Maria Elena Torch Stone, 37, after eleven years of marriage, the last two of which had been filled with charges and countercharges of abandonment and adultery.

To make matters worse, a husband's cooperation is usually required, even in such mills as Mexico and Nevada, if the divorce...
...Maria's legal triumph over finance and wedlock was based largely on an accident of birth. Her parents were Greek, but she was born in New York, which made her a citizen of both Greece and the U.S.-a combination that to Maria, at least, seemed to offer nothing special. For the last few years, in fact, she has made her home in Paris and Monte Carlo...
