...mangrove stood out black against Key Largo's garish blue sky," the novel begins, and the readers can almost see the ghost of Humphrey Bogart standing under it, whistling for Lauren Bacall. Josee goes off with a Chris-Craft skipper named Ricardo, then presents her husband with a cake bearing a single burning candle-"to celebrate the first time I've been unfaithful to you."

For his 59th birthday, co-workers gave him a $40 stuffed panda, a cake ablaze with candles, and a good-humored ribbing written by his own gagmen and delivered by Co-Star Lucille Ball. "I don't know just how old Bob is," said the sprightly redhead, "but he's closer to medicare than most Republicans." Added Lucy, recalling Hope's salad days: "He was handsome then-big chest...
