...family used to be his fate; he could scarcely change it. In the modern U.S., people think easily of changing their family, like their occupation or their home. The result is psychologically unsettling and yet this change ability has obviously become a part of American life and the family will have to adjust to it. Theologian Sam Keen (Apology for Wonder) suggests that one should boldly take the notion of the family as a center for mobility: "It should be thought of like a gypsy caravan. You have that point of stability in the caravan, but it is continually moving...
Judy Montgomery, 21, is a major in political science at the University of Cincinnati. She lives in the exclusive suburban area of Indian Hill with her parents and her son Nicky, 16 months. She became pregnant at 19 but did not want to get married. "I think having a mother and a father are important for a child, but Nicky can be raised so he isn't scarred. There are now substitutes in society that will allow him to grow up fatherless. I have no feeling of guilt. My only real hassle is with guys I meet who are interested...
...like to think of America as a child-oriented society, but our actions belie our words. The actual patterns of life in America today are such that children and families come last," asserted one of the task force reports at last week's White House Conference on Children.

Parents have been told by experts like me, "Let your child be himself," and that has been taken to mean: Let him grow up by himself. But children should not grow up associating only with other children because they...
...starred in a series of hectic comedies and adventures, often playing the heart-of-gold hooker (Irma La Douce, Two Mules for Sister Sara). Now, in a jaunty memoir, she puts forth the proposition that her own life has really been a lot more interesting. Most movie stars think that way, actually, and not a few of them have committed it all to paper. What makes "Don't Fall Off the Mountain" different from the usual drivel is that Shirley wrote it herself-no ghost, no collaborator, no pix and, alas, no visible editor. Though her prose is occasionally...
