...frequently on the move, sometimes out of fear and sometimes simply on business trips, but always accompanied by his chauffeur-bodyguard, "a German-speaking Chilean of Irish descent," Jorge O'Higgins. Bormann wears plastic gloves, said Farago, so that his fingerprints can never be taken, and had a mistress in Santiago who bore him four children. As of a few weeks ago, Farago contended, Bormann was back in Argentina, in Salta province, living in "a cottage on the Rancho Grande, the vast estate of Arndt von Bohlen und Halbach, last scion of the Krupp family." Like so much...
...have intimate relations with it, insisted Louis Tonnot, commander of Lyon's Brigade of Social Protection, as the French call their vice squads. "The best-dressed flic in France," as his colleagues called him, Tonnot made no secret of his own close connections with the underworld. His mistress ran a dubious nightclub, and Tonnot allowed no interference from fellow cops on his beat.

...story line is simple enough. Dion Anthony and William Brown are high school friends and both are in love with a girl named Margaret.

One Mississippian told me that in his family plot there is one slave's grave now completely surrounded by the family. All of this came about because masters and slaves sometimes developed a deep sense of affection and loyalty not depending necessarily upon an adulterous relationship...
...Alban Berg could not find an opera house willing to produce Wozzeck. On Hermann Scherchen's suggestion, Berg produced a three-movement suite about Wozzeck's mistress, Marie. From 1924 (the first performance date) to the present, the opera has remained Berg's most popular work all because of the initial spark provided by the suite. The public must have acted on faith to hail Wozzeck on the strength of the suite excerpts: they contain only a fraction of the tragedy and sarcasm that pervades the opera. The last suite movement in particular loses nearly all its power...
