...Democratic and Socialist Resistance Union. The bitterness was quickly evident. Though Martinaud-Déplat had learned of the first leak before Mendès took office, he neglected to tell his successor Mitterrand about it. Bitterness increased as Mitterrand began cleaning out Martinaud-Déplat's protégés, fired Prefect of Police Jean Baylot and demoted Dides from his Red-hunting job. Then, say the theorists, the plotting began. Certainly, Dides scarcely acted like a disinterested cop. When he learned through Baranés of new leaks, Dides did not tell his boss Mitterrand...

...Italian government. Like most of the countess' get-richer-quick schemes, Bugsy's bomb, "when the test came . . . merely went off 'pouf.' " At one of Dorothy's Hollywood parties, Elsa and Dorothy hung a Dictaphone near Actor John Barrymore when he was upbraiding his protégée, Elaine Barrie. The playback proved "more censorable than any sequence from a Jane Russell or Anna Magnani movie." The only time Elsa and the countess ever fought came when Elsa invited Noel Coward, whom Dorothy disliked, to a party and later "we both flew at each...
