Mistress jotted suspicions in archives purchased by Harvard

(NEWSER) - One of Norman Mailer’s mistresses suspected the writer of having a gay affair—or perhaps several, reports the Times of London.

Son of Ousted Chinese Leader: I'm No Playboy

Bo Guagua of Harvard defends himself in letter

(NEWSER) - The Chinese political scandal/murder investigation involving ousted official Bo Xilai and his wife has put a lot of attention on the lifestyle of their son Bo Guagua. So much so that the Harvard grad student has written to the Harvard Crimson to rebut the widely held view that he's a loves-to-party rich kid who has profited from his family's connections. All of his tuition money, for example, comes from "scholarships earned independently, and my mother’s generosity from the savings she earned from her years as a successful lawyer and writer," he writes.
