FORTY CARATS is a frothy farce from Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy, the team that wrote Cactus Flower. With Julie Harris as a middle-aged divorcee wooed by a lad of 22, the play enters a plea for a single standard of judgment on age disparity in marriage...
...read your article about Geel and its mental asylum [March 14] with great interest. I was in custody of the asylum at the age of two in 1938 and placed with a foster family in Geel. When Germany overran Belgium, I was forced to hide. A few months later, my younger sister joined the same household. Though the whole town knew of our Jewish origin, we lived through the entire war years without any harm, at the constant risk of many peo ple's lives. Never again have I known such love and care...
...President will not follow Buchanan; he is too energetic and committed for that. At the same time, he seems temperamentally incapable of the high-key style of a Lincoln or a Franklin Roosevelt, whose presidency, as Historian Clinton Rossiter notes, was characterized by "his airy eagerness to meet the age head-on."

Mysterious Circumstances. Katushev's career is exceptional in many ways. At 41, he is ten years younger than any other member of Russia's ruling oligarchy (whose average age is over 58). Moreover, he has never been a member of the Komsomol, the Communist youth organization to which most ambitious young Russians belong. He did not join the party until 1952, another unusual lapse for a young man who was already holding a responsible job. Ka-tushev's career has been spent as an engineer and auto designer, and until lately as party boss of an auto...
