...produced no children. Jacqueline has a 22-year-old daughter from her previous marriage, who often visits them. But Picasso's isolation from his own offspring is nearly absolute. His first son, Paul, is now 50 and lives in Paris; his daughter by Marie-Thérèse Walter lives in Spain; and his two children by Françoise Gilot, Claude, 24, and Paloma, 22, were cut out of his life and virtually deprived of support from their millionaire father during one of his fits of rage over their mother's memoirs, Life With Picasso.

In the early '30s, for instance, Picasso fell in love with a blonde Swiss girl named Marie-Thérèse Walter, 33 years younger than he.

From Manchester a reader wrote: "If we can't afford free milk for our kiddies, we can't afford any increase to a very wealthy family." But Conservative M.P. Sir Stephen McAdden introduced a motion in the Commons deploring the New Statesman article. The Times editorially tut-tutted Grossman's "gratuitously offensive manner." The difficulty is that...
