...prepared for a television discussion on civil rights, Negro Comedian Dick Gregory was warned by a friend that his host was a merciless debater; he'd better prepare to give as good as he got. "But how can I?" objected Gregory, "I love that cat." The cat was William F. Buckley Jr., the sharp-tongued conservative Republican gadfly and editor of National Review.

During the next six years, she lived as mistress to the cigar-chomping Marquise de Belboeuf and published three novels. At 40, mostly recovered from Henri and somewhat disillusioned with dykes, Colette married Paris Publisher (of Le Matin) Henri de Jouvenel, and six months after the wedding gave birth to her only child, a daughter...
