...Manchu courtier. Backhouse claimed to have found this trove of gossip and intelligence in its author's house during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. The diary became the jewel of the Oxford collection; scholars may have debated its authenticity, but hardly a soul dared suggest that Backhouse himself had written it. Now Trevor-Roper, revealing for the first time the backdrop of quiet scandals that made up Backhouse's life, concludes that the Sinologist was one of the greatest forgers of all time.

Jungle wallpaper has transformed the kitchen into an ersatz fern grotto. The bedroom is nothing less than rococo. The spirit of Mardi Gras inhabits the game room. But the soul of Malibu's newest $800,000 mansion lies in its bathroom. "I thought it only appropriate to cover the walls with rocks," smiles The Who's millionaire drummer, Keith Moon, 30.
