...docile disposition mislead some people. She is smart. She works hard on her music although her natural musical instinct is phenomenally sound. It did not take her long to learn that a prima donna who travels with pets gets photographed: she brought a baby jaguar back from her triumphal visit to Buenos Aires this summer. She also has learned that divorce rumors after sudden success are bad publicity. Separated from her husband, she says: "Divorce...
...every one was aware that this was not the God Man's first arrival in the U. S. Last December he quietly terminated an unpublicized stayin Harmon, N.

But in these degenerate days no furied band of Maenads follows beloved Liber's route, for only a solemn group of graybeards meets to celebrate the triumphal offerings of the vine.
