...colleagues' reaction was disdain; yet over the next 24 years her dispatches from the biggest and longest-running study of divorced children only got bleaker. Wallerstein took an ever growing readership through a dispiriting landscape of anger and grief, of children unable to fit in with peers, and young adults crippled in their own attempts at love. "We realized that the whole trajectory of the child's life changes," she says. "Over half of the [now grown] children I have been studying have psychological problems they attribute to the divorce." In 1995, at her study's doleful quarter-century mark...
Lebed: Only in the constitutional way. I've had more than my share of war and have come to the conclusion that it doesn't resolve anything. Even the longest wars, lasting a hundred years, still end in peace talks. So why not talk right away and cut out the military fighting stage?

Abbott was easily Broadway's longest-running hit-from a $45-a-week turn as a soused college student in 1913's The Misleading Lady to the rethinking of his 1955 box-office smash Damn Yankees for its current revival. In between were well over 100 productions in which George Abbott was named somewhere in the program, including a succession of bona fide classics: Where's Charley?, Wonderful Town, The Pajama Game, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Pal Joey. All of them were marked...
