...special kick out of his times." Some of the best items are in the Rockefellers' 27-room triplex apartment overlooking Manhattan's Central Park, others at the family's 3,000 acre estate in Pocantico Hills near Tarrytown. Rockefeller has built a house in the shadow of the family mansion, where his father still spends the winter. To show off his outdoor sculpture, he has diverted streams, moved walls, replanted the shrubbery around his white shingle Dutch colonial farmhouse...
...sultry actress offered a first-person glimpse into how a poor, tomboyish beanpole from a little Italian town near Naples eventually blossomed into a bosomy international movie star. Life was hard in the slums, hardest of all when young Sophia learned that Mom and Dad had never married. "A shadow had fallen across my tiny world. Suddenly I was insecure."

Indeed, the chapters on Nigger and Lord...
...Tonight at 8:30. They did well with Ways and Means, a bedroom comedy complete with burglar. But why did they omit the final line? Without it, the end fell flat. Hands Across the Sea is a plotless bit of mayhem, a three-minute joke extended to thirty. Shadow Play is a confused, stylized soap opera about a marriage on the rocks. It showed that the two stars ought not to sing in public; but it did provide a good final examination for the lighting technicians and stagehands...
