Sheepishly, Sir Strati told the court that he had kept Jacqueline as his mistress for 16 years, tucking her away in an $84,000 Georgian house in St. John's Wood, with her mother as chaperone. When he called (always at noontime), Jacqueline sent her mother to the movies. Three years ago he found himself "getting a bit frail" and tried to break off the liaison. Jacqueline objected; there were telephone calls, and a somewhat ruffled Sir Strati had to confess to his wife to prevent Jacqueline's turning up while a birthday party for his grandchildren...
...jury not only ruled for Sir Strati, but, applying the newfangled idea of equal rights for women before the law in an oldfangled way, callously ordered Sir Strati's ex-mistress to pay costs...
...Chicago & London. One answer came in Chicago, where the mystery was whether Georges Seurat had originally included his only self-portrait as a mirror image in his famous painting of his mistress, Young Woman Powdering. Chicago Art Institute Director Daniel Catton Rich and Painting Conservator Louis Pomerantz, taking advantage of the loan of the painting from London's Courtauld Institute for the Chicago Seurat show (TIME, Jan. 20), decided to test the legend by X ray.

She became his mistress; after she managed to divorce her husband and Dumas' wife died, they were married, five months before Dumas' death (1895). "I have sometimes seriously thought of entering a monastery," he groaned sometime before his last marriage...
...idealist. "He was determined to do good, to people, to countries, to the whole world." His naivete horrifies Greene's Englishman, a middle-aged newsman named Fowler (Michael Redgrave), whose pipedreams are provided by opium, and whose pipe is prepared by his pretty little Vietnamese mistress, Phuong. (Phuong is in the picture, but the opium is not.) Aside from Phuong (Giorgia Moll), the Englishman's principal passion is his uninvolvement, but the American wants to be mixed up in everything-particularly, Fowler decides, if it happens to be none of his damned business...
