...boyish good looks, cherubic smile and bouncy energy helped him win the Providence mayoralty in 1974 at the age of 33. By a mere 709 votes over a sorely split Democratic machine, Vincent A. Cianci Jr. became the first Republican mayor of the heavily industrial city in 34 years. But he soon had a problem that threatened to tarnish the good-guy image. A 1978 cover story in the now defunct New Times magazine reported that twelve years earlier, while a law student at Marquette University, Cianci had been accused by a 20-year-old Milwaukee telephone operator of having...

...fueled jazz age, a young Edmund Wilson pursued Poet Edna St. Vincent Millay along a stretch of Cape Cod beach. "By the time we're 50," he promised, "we'll be two of the most interesting people in the United States." He kept his word. By midlife, Wilson was regarded as America's leading man of letters, a redoubtable scholar and a critic whose opinion could make or break a literary reputation. Critic Malcolm Cowley called him a combination of Dr. Johnson, Carlyle and Sir Richard Burton, the 19th century British explorer and linguist. Readers turned...
