...first long interview with Mrs. Rommel and her son Manfred, the Rommels were at a disadvantage. They did not know that I had the late field marshal's own headquarters war diaries, or that I had learned about his present to his wife. So when the interviewing began, it was obvious from their answers that I would not get the real story without my revealing facts I had read in the war diaries. They were nervous and reticent...
...gently as I could, I told Mrs. Rommel that I had the war diaries, that I had learned about her birthday, and that I knew all about the shoes. I felt no elation at showing my hand to this charming woman. Mrs. Rommel was a grand loser. She rose from her chair.

Mrs. Robert Ettinger, an engineer's wife, who moved over from Evanston after Negroes moved into the neighborhood, chimed in with word that the Ettingers had "taken a terrible licking" on the price of their Evanston house...
Athina ("Tina") Onassis, 29, sued Shipper-Dealer Aristotle Socrates Onassis, 53, for divorce in Manhattan. She availed herself of New York's restrictive laws on divorce grounds to invoke the untidy one of adultery, named one "Mrs. J.R." as corespondent. To Tycoon Onassis, Tina's legal blockbuster came as a "surprise." For Soprano Maria Callas, 36,, for weeks in print as a friend of Onassis, and separated from Italian Industrialist Giovanni Battista Meneghini, the suit triggered a quick conference with Onassis in Monte Carlo. Then Maria flew back to her villa in Milan, pleading innocence...
