Even after inflation, these couples have more buying power than their parents did at their age. They can afford luxuries that most single-income families cannot, but they still avoid most long-term financial obligations.

By the time Evita dies of cancer at age 33, we know she's a "legend," but we have no idea of how to judge her: to Rice, fascism seems to be more a cultural style than a political ideology. Elaine Paige, 30, the heretofore unknown actress who plays Evita, does little to help. Her clarion, belting voice...
