...that I shall end my life." Despite that airy prediction, the two drifted apart after a brief affair, and they did not meet again until 1967. Malraux, then separated from his wife Madeleine, determined to keep his prophecy. He moved into the Vilmorin château at Verières-le-Buisson. not far from Paris, beginning a period of almost carefree happiness. Then tragedy struck, as it had so many times in Malraux's life. The day after Christmas in 1969, Louise suddenly died of a heart attack. Malraux's despair was such, relates...

MASQUERADE, an anthology of improvisations from children's fables, was the major embarrassment of the PBS premières. The gentle whimsy and fantasy of the original tales withers in a broad, shrill production better suited to the Minsky circuit. Kids of all ages would call it a vulgar rip-off from the Story Theater (TIME, March 1), which has been far more sensitively translated to TV by Creator...
