...women for serious counseling. Most of them seek abortions. The majority by a narrow margin-55% to 45% -are single. About 65% are between 19 years and 30; 14% are 18 or younger. The latter group must bring parents. Explains Bielby: "A girl in that situation at that age ought to have the help of her family...

Enter Patrick Curtis, a Hollywood product if there ever was one. At age two he won the Adohre Milk Company's Adohreable Baby Contest, a ringing triumph that earned him the role of Olivia de Havilland's baby in Gone With the Wind.

...English founder and director of the Institut et Musée Voltaire in Geneva and editor of the 107 volumes of Voltaire's Correspondence. Besterman's zeal can nearly do the impossible: make his scintillating subject dull.
