22. Woody is "unusual." Hard for me to understand him at all.

His comedies, however, are wonderful and demonstrate an outstanding intelligence.

Hey. Goethe wrote Faust about the ravishing of a 16-year-old.

It is not just a German classic. Seems sick by today's standards, but a few hundred years ago, girls were not so rarely married at the age of 14.

I don't approve. In fact, it is repugnant to me personally. But I also recognize that we have actually raised our standards.

If this young man is the son of Woody Allen, we should not judge him for that.

If he is the son of Frank Sinatra, I may be able to tell from his voice.

Frank Sinatra had other children. I don't think Woody Allen did. So if this young man is not Woody Allen's child, then Woody Allen has no children.

I don't know why I am even interested in this. I can't stand celebrity gossip.

We shall see what happens with this young man.
