There were other tribulations: Carson's only feature film, Looking for Love, bombed, as did a chain of fast-food restaurants that bore his name. He switched coasts, married sometime model Joanna Holland and took a mistress, Mary Jane (Emm-Jay) Trokel, a TV production assistant. Both relationships ultimately failed. In 1987 Carson acquired his fourth wife, an executive secretary, Alexis Mass. Meanwhile, Leamer asserts, all three of his sons became dependent on their father for jobs and income...
...Anton Chekhov once remarked that medicine was his wife and literature his mistress. Ambassador George F. Kennan, 85, acknowledges that his own situation is "analogous, except that the mistress was far less beautiful than Chekhov's and had to content herself with much smaller pickings...
Ever since the infamous 1963 Profumo affair, when the revelation that the mistress of War Minister John Profumo was also carrying on with a Soviet naval attache helped bring about the downfall of Harold Macmillan's government, sex scandals have been as absorbing a British pastime as royal weddings.

Lynn Hamilton (The Waltons) is Henry's mother-in-law, Vivian, who years earlier was a servant in the Whitmore mansion. Her former mistress, Pat Crowley (Dynasty), is the lawyer Rebecca < Whitmore, Marshall's attorney and a troubled divorcee. These three, along with members of both families, knot the skein of story lines in which soap fans so love to get ensnarled. The older generation has career and economic problems; the middle generation faces...
