...fact, such marriages often seem to work almost precisely because of the age differences. Eighty-seven-year-old Pablo Picasso's evident contentment with his wife Jacqueline, 43, might have been impossible in his younger years. If Charlie Chaplin had married Oona O'Neill when he was 30 or 35, it probably would not have lasted a year. Instead, he married her in 1943 at a mellower 54, when she was 18, and the marriage, with eight children, has been prolific and apparently serene. "My security and stability with Charlie," Oona has said, "stem from the difference...
...thinking that a man's soul wanders at night and may not have time to get back if sleep ends prematurely. But for industrial societies, the schedules are merciless. Rising at the crack, grumped German Journalist Johannes Gross recently, condemns modern man to the life of peasants. Mutters Pablo Picasso, "I understand why they execute condemned men at dawn. I just have to see the dawn in order to have my head roll all by itself."

The exchange began by accident 14 years ago, soon after the mustachioed little tailor, an expatriate Italian from the mountain village of Bellona near Naples, and his wife Slava opened shop on the Riviera. One day the Florentine ceramist and painter Manfredo Borsi ordered a suit. "If you prefer," Borsi imperiously suggested, "I will pay you with one of my paintings." Sapone did not really prefer...
...margin, the court reversed a lower court that had convicted Kelley of indecent exposure for her performance at a San Pablo, Calif., nightclub. "The First Amendment," said the justices, "cannot be constricted into a straitjacket of protection for political expression alone. It extends to all forms of communication, including the highest: the work of art." Moreover, the majority pointed out, "the dance is perhaps the earliest and most spontaneous mode of expressing emotion and dramatic feeling...
