...author's next four novels. Meanwhile, Doubleday also had something to bark about. Its newest author is one C. Fred Bush, 11, four-legged companion of George and Barbara Bush. Due in April, C. Fred's Story: A Dog's Life, "edited slightly" by his mistress, will provide (for $11.95) a shin-rubbing view of the vice presidential household. C. Fred will donate all proceeds to charity...
...Morgan showed a tawdry penchant for causing discomfort in high places. Last year the sometime model, then 29, filed a $5 million lawsuit against Ronald Reagan's multi-millionaire friend and adviser Alfred Bloomingdale, contending that he had promised to support her in return for having been his mistress for twelve years. She lost the suit, Bloomingdale died of cancer, and a mortified White House may have thought it had heard the last of her. But last week, after Morgan had been found bludgeoned to death in her North Hollywood apartment and her roommate, Marvin Pancoast, 33, had confessed...
...purchases, when opened, are likely to be as interesting and substantial as unfolded cocktail napkins.

At those prices, Weiner cannot afford to dawdle. But his landlady is either senile or maliciously evasive. She never leaves her home and ignores requests for an appointment. Weiner starts screening the mail coming into the house and the trash going out ("on the whole, the garbage was a waste"). Growing desperate for information of any kind, Weiner inaugurates a love affair with Jonica, the woman...
DIED. Vicki Morgan, 30, sometime model and the late Alfred Bloomingdale's mistress, whose unsuccessful but much publicized $5 million palimony suit against the former Diners Club chairman featured lurid descriptions of his sexual fetishes; of head injuries suffered when she was bludgeoned with a baseball bat by her boyfriend, Marvin Pancoast; in North Hollywood, Calif. Pancoast, 33, an unemployed office clerk who had lived with Morgan for three weeks, told police that they had been arguing over "finances" before he attacked her while she slept...
