- <p> 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have
- loved at all--but 'tis a whole lot more expensive, as radio
- raconteur Larry King can attest. His fifth marriage, marked by
- more ups and downs than a Jon Lovitz polygraph, is kaput for
- keeps. The result: a seven-figure settlement. "I'll never marry
- again," says the Mickey Rooney of the microphone. "I'm a
- romantic. I just don't know that marriage is the answer to
- romance." King blames his matrimonial losing streak on...Larry King: "I love my work most of all." That love has not gone
- unrequited--last week the National Association of Broadcasters
- inducted King into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The "talk
- radio" pioneer, now a cable-TV interlocutor as well, is a
- defiant liberal in a field rife with conservatives--for whom
- he has little respect. "They pick easy targets. The
- congressional pay. The bouncing checks. They don't take a stand
- for the Puerto Rican in the community, the black, the
- downtrodden--a stand which gets you in trouble."
