...turned up mysteriously as the Aramburu government's prisoner. Apparently confident and at ease despite official auspices, Radeglia told reporters he thought Perón was suffering from a "nervous imbalance." He confirmed that Perón wanted to bring to Panama Nelly Rivas, his 16-year-old mistress during his last days as President (TIME, Oct. 10), who was turned back a fortnight ago as she tried to leave Argentina via Paraguay. Picturing himself as thoroughly disillusioned, Radeglia said that he, too, was writing a book, a biography of Perón. The tentative title:The Beast...

A woman of rare beauty, she was the mistress of a king (Henry II) 20 years her junior, and held his love until he died. In a day when woman's place was in the home, she ruled France well and wisely for more than a decade (1547-59). A patroness of the arts, she was the muse of Jean Goujon, whose finest statue is a portrait of Diane as Diana...
...editor of wanting to fire him, and hurries around the island digging up bucketfuls of newsworthy dirt. This upsets the governor, who suspects that he is not popular in Whitehall but does not suspect that his handsome aide-de-camp is going to bed with the colored ex-mistress of the island's leading subversive...
