...close mutual friend recalls that Reagan had long been in the habit of delivering animated readings from the newspaper over breakfast and then insisting on an analytical discussion of current events. Jane, the story goes, finally revolted against eggs-and-cerebration and fled with their two children, Maureen, now 24, and Michael...
...York City Opera's opening production of Handel's Julius Caesar last week was just minutes old when Contralto Maureen Forrester fixed hand to forehead, shuddered "Woe unto me," and fainted dead away. Contralto roles are like that, full of weeping and despair, the tragic counterweights that support the romantic leads.

...account of a recent album he recorded, Frank Sinatra, 50, is in the September of his years. But as the days dwindle down to a precious few, he's decided to make the most of them by marrying Mia Farrow, 21, Maureen O'Suilivan's actress daughter. After keeping steady company with her for more than a year, Frankie took her home to mother and gave her a ding-a-ding ring, nine carats heavy and worth something like $100,000. Said Old Pal Joey Bishop: "It looked like Plymouth Rock had been lowered onto Columbus Circle...
