...neighboring villages, priests delivered a warning-beware of those who would corrupt the church. But in tiny (pop. 220) Kyprianades, in the northern part of the sun-drenched Greek island of Corfu, Father John Costeletos, 45, kept silent. There was little need for him to talk: everyone in town knew that he and his affair with the 37-year-old Widow Theodora Pra had prompted all the other sermons in the first place.

At 37, after years of composing and a succession of provincial conducting posts in Austria and Germany he became head of the Vienna Opera, and from that time on (1897), he was one of the most powerful men of music in Europe. He renovated the opera company...

Our Bovary tells of Sonia Smith, who looks like a dahlia, "large, top-heavy, gorgeous," and who gets satisfaction neither from her small husband nor her stiflingly small home town. South African Author Gordimer, 35, who is a tiny, finely made woman herself, often seems appalled by the size and beefiness of her fellow countrymen-matrons with "goose-fleshed, quaking red arms," and large, blond, blue-eyed men with red faces...
