...medical decision, however, quickly follows. Michigan's only ground for therapeutic abortion is saving the life of the mother. As a result, most women must leave the state. Usually they are advised to go to nearby Cleveland or to Chicago, where abortions are still illegal but can be performed safely and discreetly-and sometimes they travel as far as London.* The Michigan ministers refer them to doctors on a list that has been checked out by Bielby himself or by a cooperating physician.

Little Raquel Tejada (the last name means, in Spanish, "Spears of Clay") was born in Chicago on Sept. 5, 1940 (not, as she claims, 1942). Her father, Armand, is a Bolivian-born structural-stress engineer; her mother, Josephine, is of English stock. When Raquel was two, the Tejadas moved to La Jolla, Calif., a pretty, plasticized, middle-class community just north of San Diego. Raquel grew up in an all-American ambience that would have been a natural for a California Norman Rockwell. The family, which included Raquel's younger brother and sister, lived in a one-story stucco house...

...28th film, Tristana. With another director, such ambiguities of statement and action might seem a bit bizarre; with Buñuel, they are entirely in character. Since his youth, he has fashioned a career from contradictions. The first-born son of a Spanish bourgeois father and an aristocratic mother, Luis became a brilliant pupil of Jesuit tutors. But upon reading Darwin's The Origin of Species, he started the opening battle in his long war against church and state. At the University of Madrid, he was an intimate of the revolutionary poet Federico Garcia Lorca and the genius-impostor...

Born François-Marie Arouet on Nov. 22, 1694-his father quite possibly not his mother's husband-Voltaire soon decided* that a man's main choice in life was to play the hammer or the anvil. Zozo, as he was nicknamed, had no doubts about which role he intended to take. Blessed with a middle-class background, a sound Jesuit education, a phenomenal memory and a wit to match his impudence, Voltaire hammered on every anvil in sight with an exuberance no enlightened common sense could quite explain...
