Which is not quite the way it sounds in Luft's tell-all book, Me and My Shadows: A Family Memoir (which, among other things, recounts Lorna's role in getting Liza into rehab). The two aren't talking now, though Liza doesn't describe it as a feud: "We're sisters, and we're going through something." She won't even bad-mouth the book, which she claims she hasn't read.

...those weren't the stories we were really interested in. It was the one she was living, the one we shared: the story of Time Inc. Marta's breadth of memory and experience at the company encompassed names and events that are history and legend--and she could tell the difference. As a former boss once said in awe, "Marta knows where the skeletons are hidden." It was no accident that she was asked to help compile the corporate history. If young colleagues were mystified at the ways of TIME, Marta would sit them down and explain it all--instilling...
