Her goading requests: 1) Whatever happened to her engineer son Sergei, last heard from in Moscow some 20 years ago? 2) When will the Soviets honestly rewrite the history of denounced "Traitor" Leon Trotsky and of his "deviationist" son Leon Jr., who died mysteriously after an operation...

Died. Mistinguett, nee Jeanne Bourgeois, 82, French musicomedienne; in Bougival, a suburb of Paris. With her foghorn voice, perky Parisian personality and famed legs ("les plus belles jambes de France," allegedly insured for $3 million), "Mees" rose from flower girl to become the most luminous star of the French music hall of her time.
