...crop of late-in-life babies. The number of women 35 or over who are giving birth for the first time has quadrupled in the past decade, and is expected to increase further in the next few years. Sure, there are advantages to starting a family in your late 30s and early 40s. But what about the children who must build sand castles with graying oldsters who can't play ring-around-the-ro sy without breaking into a sweat...
...Club's greenswards as a personal fief, and she won the opening set. For a moment it looked as though the 31-year-old Navratilova would gain a distinction long coveted -- a record ninth Wimbledon singles title, one more than Helen Wills Moody won back in the 1920s and '30s. Martina punched the air in anticipation. But silently the skies turned from summer sun to North Atlantic squall, and Steffi simply and unceremoniously broke the veteran's serve again and again.

It also indulges a fascination with style and surface that is very much of the present. Mapplethorpe trafficked expertly in the prevailing moods of the '70s and early '80s, the appetite for both glamour and decadence, high fashion and subterranean sex. That has caused him to be dismissed at times as a vendor of deluxe fantasy...
...life on a leash held by a rich bitch (Lisa Banes). Act III: See Tom furrow his boyish brow in a moment of reflection and win the girl of his revised dreams. Sure, fine, why not? Love with the proper heiress propelled many an affable screwball plot in the '30s, when stars made a new movie every few months and one more airy, romantic comedy was no big deal...
