...affluent late '50s and '60s? The lowering birth rate has nothing to do with fertility, says Natality Statistics Chief Arthur A. Campbell; in fact, women are proving more fertile than the mothers of 30 years ago (88 babies for each 1,000 women of childbearing age v. 76 a generation ago). Nor did he hold the Pill solely responsible; the drop in births during the '20s, before today's sophisticated contraceptives were available, was equally steep...
Scott may have been right in his time. But no more. Now a noteworthy and increasing number of Americans are beginning second acts with verve and purpose. Among them are some rather familiar figures: military men, policemen and firemen who reach retirement potential at a relatively early age and apply their knowledge and skill to some new endeavor.

...Coslow lost almost $150,000, vowed to master the stock market and get it back. He did, while publishing more than 500 songs (Cocktails for Two, Just One More Chance).

Within these broad limits, however, the judge has enormous discretion. Says William MacFaden, presiding judge of the family courts in Los Angeles County, "Many human factors must be taken into consideration when setting the amount...
...Cossins' Gladstone is a subtle creation, the portrait of an un compromising man doing an honest, thankless job for a sovereign who can not abide him. But the play belongs to Miss Tutin. In the final act, without benefit of makeup sorcery, she and Victoria edge into old age. The fatigue of existence enters her voice, slows her step, dims her eyes like a patina. It is an august portrayal of a Queen who is regal without being pompous, naive without being stupid, romantic without being sentimental...
