In some cultures, having mistresses is very much an accepted part of life. One thinks of the widow and mistress of Francois Mitterrand standing together at his funeral.
The issue of mistresses has arisen in my own social milieu. A grandfather of mine had more than one, much to the distress of his wife, my very conventionally moral, Bible-reading Baptist grandmother. There were children of these other connections, too, at least one of whom later befriended my grandmother and was much beloved of her as a friend.

Mr. Harris takes the five nominees for Best Picture at the Academy Awards for 1967-Bannie and Clyde, Doctor Doolittle, The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and In the Heat of the Night-as the foundation on which to build a similarly triumphalist account of the coming of "a new world of American movies" destined to sweep aside the fusty old habits of moviemaking formed during the 1940s and 1950s.

The Navy is seeking to discharge him, a move that he is contesting.
