 | | She finds fault with Lauder for failing to admit her age, for hedging about her background, ruthless social climbing and perhaps about love affairs she had while she was divorced temporarily from her husband, Joe. |
 | | Israel's more serious charges accuse Lauder of anti-Semitism and concealing her Jewishness, also of not compensating her chemist uncle who invented the cream on which Lauder's privately owned company is built. |
 | | Lauder herself tells her story with a certain breathless ingenuousness that might not appeal to some readers, but her style, both in writing and in running her corporation, is indisputably her own, and invests her book with a life Israel's does not have. |
