...Redgrave clan. Last Thanksgiving, while Oscar nominee LYNN REDGRAVE prepared the turkey for a houseful of guests, her manager and husband of 32 years JOHN CLARK decided to break some rather uncelebratory news. It seems that eight years earlier Clark had an affair with his personal assistant, Nicolette. The tryst produced a son, whose paternity remained secret. Then Nicolette got married...to Redgrave and Clark's son Ben, who soon learned he had become his half-brother's stepfather. Ben and Nicolette eventually split, and Ben insisted that Clark fess up to Redgrave. Believing Redgrave had sufficiently recovered from...
...Jacob (Max von Sydow), of her affair with Tomas (Thomas Hanzon), a divinity student; Jacob advises her to reveal the affair to her husband Henrik (Samuel Froler), also a clergyman.

Frederik is not the only character trying desperately to stay young. When actress Desiree Armfeldt (Kate Agresta '02), Frederik's former lover, comes to town, Frederik spies her on stage and escapes his wife for a nighttime tryst.

The audience watches the pair's lovemaking silhouetted through a screen. At the same time, on a different part of the stage, Leonora appears to reminisce about her youth spent manipulating aristocrats and complains that...
...What's worse is the nebulous nature of the evidence. At least Clinton admitted to an "improper" tryst with Lewinsky; where Willey was concerned, the White House released a sackful of letters suggesting this Democratic volunteer was less than harassed. "This is classic he-said, she-said stuff," says Branegan. "Starr is scraping the bottom of the barrel here." Which could explain why the independent counsel is not making an official impeachment charge -? and why he released the Willey evidence on a day when the rest of Washington was focused on Iraq. Not that Starr has been completely unproductive...
...merits of Frasier are on display in an episode like last season's "Room Service," which recounts the consequences when Niles has a tryst with Frasier's ex-wife Lilith, who is visiting from out of town and after whom Frasier continues to lust. The construction is faultless, as a waiter delivers breakfast to Lilith and Niles; returns to find Lilith and Frasier; and on his third visit discovers Frasier and Niles. Before he learns what Niles has done, Frasier is blustery and assured, waggling his taurine head. "My ex-wife--we're sort of reconnecting," he confides...
