DIED. PAUL TSONGAS, 55, former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate; of pneumonia contracted after liver surgery on Jan. 10; in Boston. In 1983 Tsongas was found to have lymphoma, but it was successfully treated, and at his death there was no sign that it had returned. However, bone-marrow transplants he received contributed to liver problems, requiring the operation.

For several months Rowlands has been living in Fairborn, Ohio, helping her older sister care for their mother, who is dying of liver cancer. Rowlands is also working on a book proposal about women who are abused by men in power. "You know there is something strange about this person," she says of Morris, "but he has something you really need." She's not the only one he affects that way: it was reported last week that Rudolph Giuliani briefly flirted with Morris about...
