...parents; the battle is between society on one side and families on the other, and we've got to reorder things so that human values can again get some recognition. I have a great deal of sympathy for the anger and frustration that are reflected in the Women's Liberation movement. Not only are women discriminated against in the so-called man's world, but they have now been deprived of prestige in their role as women. It used to be that a mother would get recognition in her neighborhood for the fact that she had brought...
...gave Beethoven's orchestral writing a brassy surface excitement that had a celebrity-filled audience cheering to the chandeliers. Save for a shaky Abscheulicher! in Act I, Soprano Leonie Rysanek as Leonore rescued her mate Florestan from Pizarro's dungeon with a heroinism that any latter-day Women's Lib leader would envy. Tenor Jon Vickers gave glorious vocal heart to Florestan's piteous degradation.

This year the American consumer has been saving at an unprecedented rate of 7.3% of his income, and banks have tried to attract more deposits by offering gifts like appliances, luggage and wigs for women.

At week's end Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans reported to President Nixon that Christmas sales were "fairly brisk" and that apparel was moving well. The Secretary took pains to note an upsurge...
Dickens' feeling of being let down by his mother was the first of several jolts to his self-indulgent idealization of women. At 21 he tried to place a girl named Maria Beadnell in the role of an angelic object of worship. She ended by jilting him. Later he cast his wife-the bland, slightly perplexed daughter of one of his former editors-as the traditional loyal helpmeet. She seems to have ended by boring him. The result was that in his fiction he was never able to display a fully rounded view of women. Even his most memorable...
