...predecessors, he placed his 3,755-jewel crown on his own head, millions of Iranians fell to their knees and shouted "Javid Shah [Long live the Shah]." When he broke tradition by also crowning Empress Farah, it was the ceremonial affirmation of her importance to his throne. The first woman ever to be crowned in Iran's 2,513-year history as a monarchy, she will become regent, if anything happens to the Shah, until Prince Reza comes of age. It is a possibility that the Shah, who has survived two assassination attempts, knows is very real. "My sole...
Author Ernest Hemingway used to pour himself into his letters-and never with less inhibition than when writing to a young Italian woman named Adriana Ivancich in the early 1950s. "Miss Mary always regarded how I felt about you as a cosa sagrada [sacred thing]," the novelist wrote. "It was something that struck me like lightning."

In words charged with pain and hurtling toward frenzy, Olivier vengefully announces that he wants a divorce in order to "unite my destiny with that of a woman who together with devotion to her husband will also bring into this household youth, and may I say, a little BUUU-TEEE!" Not beauty but a final stroke awaits the captain. Propped in a wheelchair, jaw sagging, tongue palsied, eyes of stone, he must hear out his wife...
...Marlene Dietrich, emulating the Victorian ladies of yesteryear, were to faint upon hearing an obscenity." Buckley summed up the attitude of Texas Republicans facing the approaching presidential election: "The dilemma is how to be, at once, both a winner and a Republican. That is the lot of the woman, as La Rochefoucauld observed, who is at once inflexibly virtuous and violently inflamed." Listing possible Republican tickets, Buckley offered his own preference-with reservations.
