, I have a friend, Phyllis Jacob, who was one of the judges ruling in the custody/visitation battle between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow. I have another friend, John Van Doren, whose brother, Charles, was the central character in the game show scandals of the 50's. As it happens, Robert Goodwin, who was the Senate committee counsel who "outed" Van Doren, is married to Doris Kearns Goodwin

Small world/degrees is so much fun to play. This is stretch-playing:

My hubby says we've met a Phyllis Jacob and it might be the same one. (I don't remember it.) Maybe it's a different one, though. This one is an alumna of Swarthmore College, he thinks.

A friend of ours (a 'connected' editor in NYC) told us that she knew from a writer who knew Philip Roth, that he was having an affair with Mia Farrow after the breakup with Woody Allen.

We visited someone who had years ago had an affair with Louise Glasser, an actress who had had an affair in the past with Woody Allen.

I once knew a Peggy Stern, the daughter of a Philip Van Doren Stern, who had some connection to the game show person you mention.

For a second there I thought Doris Kearns Goodwin's husband used to be the boyfriend of a friend of mine, but shucks, I see it's Robert and mine was Richard. Shucks.

This is true:

Marian Stone, the widow of Don Barthelme, was at a party (before his death) in NY, engaged in chit chat with another woman, who asked her if she'd read any good books lately. Marian said, not mentioning that she was married to the author, that she had very much liked Barthelme's last book. The woman to whom she was speaking answered, "I don't think I'll read it. He was my first husband."
