...letters plus a hyphen, Sammataro-Hutchins is a bit much. Still, time has not been kind either to the Floyd-Bells, Church-Smiths and other conscientiously nonsexist, nonconformist couples who embraced hyphenation in the '70s as a banner of equality. The ubiquitous computer, for example, often seems incapable of recognizing hyphens. Says a Citibank spokesman: "This is not an insidious attack on our part. It's a program problem." Bureaucracies would rather set aside the mark altogether. In Bayside, N.Y., Dana Wissner- Levy, a graduate student at Hofstra University, had to take her battle to the school president before...
...that dogwood, how it's fringed with raindrops? That's an effect you can get only on days like this," says Bussewitz, a sprightly man in his early 70s. Buzzy, as he prefers to be called, has studied plants for more than 40 years and has been a volunteer at the arboretum for more than a decade since his retirement...

"But there's a vacuum," added Morris, a prosperous Manhattan businessman. "Where's the children? Where's the husband?" Here Lola broke in, "Normally, I'm the one to say that. But today I'm on good behavior." A few moments later, the Wassersteins were asked...
...from old lead piping and solder that have been used in plumbing for generations. These materials are gradually being replaced in homes and water systems. Says Eugene Rosov, who runs a water-testing company in Manchester, N.H.: "The '60s was the decade we attacked lead in paint. In the '70s we went after lead in the air from gasoline emissions. Now we are doing something about lead in drinking water...
