...value of contacts and details. It was not uncommon to find Susann at a distributor's warehouse greeting the truck drivers who would deliver her books to the store. In fact, the Mansfields practically wrote the book on modern literary promotion. The color of a Susann dust jacket was carefully chosen for television appeal. Once on, Jackie, who died in 1974, quickly realized what many touring novelists have yet to accept: talk-show hosts rarely want to talk about a novel as a work of fiction. They want gossip, one-liners, jokes and, above all, a hot subject...
...talk of a tiff. But new signs of deep trouble in the marriage kept turning up. Tony took over a country place in Sussex, where he, Margaret and some of his pals gathered on weekends. But the princess soon tired of what she called Snowdon's "leather jacket" cronies, who bridled at calling her "Your Royal Highness." When Margaret stopped going to Sussex, Tony took fashion models along on assignments. Another reported companion, from the nearby estate of the Marquess of Reading, was the Marquess's daughter, Lady Jacqueline Rufus Isaacs. Lady Jackie, pouty-lipped, leggy and then...
...distraction, even as an embarrassment. The annals of samurai conduct are filled with prodigies of sword wielding: as recently as the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, for instance, a Japanese officer charged a Russian machine gun, so the story goes, and cut clean through its barrel and water jacket with one swipe of his tachi.

...choice for an all-occasion best suit is John Anthony's pale gray-heather cotton-jersey long-sleeved, shirt-collared jacket, pleated wrap skirt and ivory muscle-sleeve T shirt ($210). The suit jacket can be worn with Anthony's matching pleated trousers ($60) by day. The look can be varied with the addition of Blassport's long-sleeved ivory polyester crepe-de-chine front-buttoned shirt ($44), which can be worn partly buttoned and knotted around the waist for a casual evening...
Ginny first replays her gropings with Joe Bob Sparks, the imbecile high-school star athlete whose lettered jacket "looked like the rear window of a Winnebago with stickers from every state." From there she moves on to kinky sex with Clem Cloyd, the town hoodlum, and then to a proper Boston women's college, "alma mater of vast battalions of female overachievers." When her prim devotion to the rationalism of Descartes collapses under the onslaught of Nietzsche, she drops out of school and into a lesbian affair with a leathery radical. A communal farm in Vermont claims Ginny next...
